Thread: linebreak causing page citation to become question mark




linebreak causing page citation to become question mark
user name

Howdy,

I'm using:
*	Saxon 6.5.5
*	Xerces 2.8.0
*	Apache FOP 0.20.5

Context:
I've turned on page number citation in the PDF so that my
xrefs result
in the page number appearing in parentheses, like this:
For more information, see Request Authentication (p. 25). 

Problem:
I've noticed that in situations where the xref breaks across
lines, the
page number turns into a question mark. For example (I
inserted a
backslash to show where the line breaks):

For more information, see Request Authentication
(p. ?).

For more information, see Request Authentication (p.
?).
 

If the section title itself breaks over the line, the page
number
correctly shows up. For example:
For more information, see Re-
quest Authentication (p. 25).

For more information, see Request
Authentication (p. 25).


Anyone know if this is something I can fix?

Thanks a bunch! And happy long weekend for those of you in
the U.S.
cheri

Hi all,

Before I assume there's no fix to this, I thought I'd ping
the group one
more time to make sure this question actually made it to the
list.

thanks if you have any thoughts!

I guess that has to be a fop bug, but I would think others
would have
noticed it. Perhaps you could avoid the situation by
replacing the
spaces with nbsps:

<l:template name="page.citation"
text="&#x00A0;(p.&#x00A0;%p)"/> 

No line break, no problem?

I haven't seen this behavior before with xrefs, Cheri. Have
you looked
at the fo output produced by Saxon to see if the page
references look
ok? Do you see any difference in the fo output between the
page
references that look ok and that ones that do not?

If the FO output is ok, then maybe the problem is with FOP
0.20.5. You
could try the 0.93 version or download the trial version of
XEP and
try that.
