RE: fop-users Digest 26 Jun 2009 10:01:24 -0000 Issue 1840

Hi All -

I've got an XSL FO that looks good to me, but the FOP processor seems to
be ignoring empty blocks and blocks with whitespace.

The output I desire I am trying to achieve is:
--------
Line 1

Line 2
-------

None of these following XSL FOs produce the desired result.  Am I
missing something, or is this a limitation of FOP?

1.
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block border-top-style="solid" padding-top=".15in"
space-after=".2in" font-family="arial" font-size="12pt">
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve">Line 1 </fo:block>
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve"></fo:block>
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve">Line 2 </fo:block> </fo:block> </fo:flow>

2.
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block border-top-style="solid" padding-top=".15in"
space-after=".2in" font-family="arial" font-size="12pt">
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve">Line 1 </fo:block>
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve"> </fo:block>
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve">Line 2 </fo:block> </fo:block> </fo:flow>

3.
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block border-top-style="solid" padding-top=".15in"
space-after=".2in" font-family="arial" font-size="12pt">
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve">Line 1 </fo:block>
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve"> </fo:block>
  <fo:block white-space-collapse="false" whitespace-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve">Line 2 </fo:block> </fo:block> </fo:flow>

Thanks,
Ted
