FOP 0.95: table-layout="fixed" and column-width unspecified

[tatra603]

Hello!

I received following warning from Apache FOP 0.95. It is strange for me, because I have defined column-width. Could You help me, please? My FO file is below.

Thank You in advance. Stepan

Code: Select all

Hello,

Apache FOP (the built-in FO engine of Oxygen) requires the attribute column-width together with the width one, that is something like:

Code: Select all

    <fo:table-column width="50mm" column-width="20mm"/>

    <fo:table-column width="100mm" column-width="30mm"/>

Adding the column-width attribute fixes the Apache FOP warning.

Hello,

thank You for the answer. But what is the difference between column-width and width attributes of fo:table-column element? You have set different values to them. Does it not mind?

Hello,

In fact if you do not use automatic table layout then you must specify the column-width attribute as required by the specification: The "column-width" property must be specified for every column, unless the automatic table layout is used. The width attribute is not reported as error by FOP but I think it is ignored in this case. The required attribute for fo:table-column elements is column-width not width.
