[Foa-devel] Pagination and Complex Table bugs

[Giannetti, F. <Fab...@hp...>]

Hi John,
	I think we can start to debug the current FOA artifact and plan to
make a new release for the beginning of June. 
I think it will be interesting if you get more familiar with the pagination
stuffs, meanwhile I will clear the bugs into the complex table bit.
What I have added into the pagination is the possibility to add a region
name, so you can define work with multiple headers and footers.
I saw some problems when you generate the headers and footers, sometimes
these are placed into the wrong page and the attributes are missing. This
causes problems into the creation of the page sequence especially when FOA
try to generate the content sequence.
I have attached a file generate with wh2fo that shows how it will be the
correct behaviour.
Strangely when you open a file this will works fine, and I think this can
help to find out where are the bugs.
I will work on the complex tables and I have already successful tested the
page numbering :-))
Then I will update the customised FOP version to be compliant with the REC
and so we can issue a new release FOA 0.3.0.
We can also plan to put a more complicated paradigm for the page sequences
like the conditional with the page-position, blank-not-blank and odd-or-even
parameters chooseable directly by the user ....
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.
