Check return codes everywhere

Markus Elfring — Sat, 27 Aug 2005 13:14:03 -0000

Some checks for return codes are missing.

Example:
Please add more error handling for null pointers from
"malloc" in almost all functions.

Missing tag: span

Missing tag: span

Does not retain user widths

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 16:26:15 -0000

Converts all user-defined widths to centimeters and
points, as near as I can tell. It should completely
retain any W3-defined unit. It's conversion to
centimeters is also inaccurate and results in page
display errors (columns too wide for table, etc.).

Ignores style elements

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 16:22:38 -0000

As far as I can tell, the program ignores almost all
style elements, such as width, height, border, etc. It
seems like it only handles basic font styles and
possibly margins and floating elements.

Junk is appended after

Manjunatha — Thu, 16 Dec 2004 08:04:06 -0000

The .fo generated by the tool when called from
ASP.Net is appended with "\ASPNET\LO" or the Machine
name at the end of the file.

But the files generated through Command prompt
doesnot have this.

Manju

Example:
<fo:block space-before.optimum="1.5pt" space-
after.optimum="1.5pt" keep-together="always"
id="LastPage" line-height="1pt" font-
size="1pt"></fo:block></fo:block></fo:flow></fo:page-
sequence></fo:root>\ASPNET\LO

garbage is written after

L.S.

With a big HTML table I get

</fo:page-sequence></fo:root>
height="20">

at the end. The height="20"> part is NOT correct.

[Fatal Error] test.fo:3475:1: Content is not allowed in
trailing section.
[ERROR] Content is not allowed in trailing section.

The breaking point is table row 435 (line 1333-1335 in
html file). With this row I get the error. When I remove
these 3 lines from the input file, it works fine. I do not
see anything special about this line. The file was
generated from XML/XSL.

When I remove all rows except this table row, then it
works fine, so the problem is not in the row itself. But
when I add a lot of rows to the table it goes wrong
again. There is data written after the </fo:root> closing
tag.

A buffer that is not cleaned properly?

a href="#"

Anonymous — Fri, 21 Nov 2003 12:37:19 -0000

hi
when html has this tag : <a href="#">, program create
<fo:basic-link color="#0000ff" text-
decoration="underline" internal-destination="">

Internal-destination="", and FOP say "internal-
destination or external-destination must be specified in
basic-link"

if I change value : Internal-destination="#", its work
right.

Strange text appended after root in conversion

Anonymous — Fri, 31 Jan 2003 15:25:58 -0000

I'm using html2fo to convert many html files to fo. For
most of the html files, proper xsl fo is created. However,
there is one file in particular for which the xsl fo that is
generated is malformed. For some reason, the
generated file has proper formatting except for at the
very end, where part of a font tag is appeneded after the
root. I have tried converting the problem html file to
xhtml, and also validated the xhtml with several
validators. The html that causes the bug is perfectly
correct! I am including the html file in hopes that you
may be able to fix what is causing this error! Thanks!

Segementation Fault on IBM and SGI Box

Ajay Verma — Mon, 21 Oct 2002 13:07:56 -0000

I am using html2fo for converting the html to XSL FO and
then using FOP to convert XSL FO to a PDF
document.It is working fine on Windows and Solaris.
As I am runing my applcaition on Unix on IBM box
which is having AIX Compiler, Version 5 and unix on
SGI box which is having MIPSpro Compilers: Version
7.3.1.2m. I couldn't get html2fo for IBM and SGI box
from http://sourceforge.net,that's why I tried to build
html2fo from the source code provided on
http://sourceforge.net. It went fine on SGI and IBM box
with some warnings,but when I am runing html2fo with
arguments ,it is giving the segementation fault error.
Any help on this will be higly appreciated.

Thanks
Ajay
