Description Lee Gaiteri 2003-05-27 23:16:41 UTC

I'm seeing this in trying to convert to PDF format, but I think it's a general
issue. I'm using version 0.20.5rc3a. If I use any fo:block or fo:inline element
with the text-align attribute set to "outside", I get an error:

[ERROR] Unknown enumerated value for property 'text-align': outside
[ERROR] Error in text-align property value 'outside':
org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: No conversion defined

Trying "inside" will produce a similar error. And text-align-last is even worse,
failing also to allow "left", "right", and "relative". Compliance for these is
simply pass/fail, which should mean that they're either implemented to spec
(allowing all 8 values for text-align, all 9 for text-align-last) or they're
not. There's not even so much as a note in the compliance document to the effect
that they're only partially supported.

This should be an easy fix, but as a stopgap some note could be put into the
compliance document to say that they're not fully implemented, and which values
don't work.

Thanks for reporting. I've updated the compliance document with the 
restriction you uncovered in CVS. Changing entry to "Enhancement" as a 
reminder.

I have an issue with RTF output which I think is due to text-align-last...

The last line in a block has spacing 10pt before in RTF but is fine in PDF.

Here's the XSL-FO which I have edited down:

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
  <fo:block font-family="sazanami-mincho, msmincho, Arial, sans serif"
              font-size="10pt">

       ... Preceding blocks deleted for sake of brevity

    <fo:block font-size="10pt" 
              font-family="sazanami-mincho, msmincho, Arial, sans serif"
              space-before="1em" text-align="left" text-align-last="relative">

        &#65288;&#65297;&#65289;&#34892;&#28858;&#12434; etc...
         <fo:block space-after="0.001mm"> </fo:block>
        &#65288;&#65298;&#65289;&#26032;&#28511; etc...
         <fo:block space-after="0.001mm"> </fo:block>
        &#65288;&#65299;&#65289;&#23558;&#26469;  etc... This is the one that gets 10pt before
    </fo:block>

  </fo:block>
  
  <fo:block text-align="center" space-after="1em">
    <fo:inline>*******</fo:inline>
  </fo:block>

   <fo:block/>

</fo:flow>

Apologises, ignore my previous comment. Issue occurs with or without
text-align-last.

change status from ASSIGNED to NEW for consistency
