Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the response.
As you probably know, if the text in a cell is too long it wraps to the next
line and increases the row height. The spec says that specifying a height
fixes the height, by which I assumed it meant that any wrapping text would
be lost. Either I've misread the spec or FOP doesn't implement it correctly
for table rows. I appreciate what you say about keeping text within the row
size, but I don't have control over the size of the text inputted. What I
would like to be able to do, however, is control the row height so that it
will be fixed at say 0.6cm regardless of the text inputted. This would , of
course, has the unfortunate side effect of not rendering certain text, but I
still need to be able to do it.
If you have any thoughts, always appreciated.
Regards,
Mark Williams

From: Mark Williams
I'm using the table-row height attribute to limit the height os specific
rows. However, if the text is greater than the height of the row, the
row
height adjusts, so that it seems (at least in conjunction with
table-rows)
that the height property specifies an "at least", not a fixed height.
Is
this how height was intended. I'm using FOP to render, so this might be
a
FOP problem.
Hi Mark,
Not sure if I understand the 'problem' correctly, but defining a row to
be,
say, 10pt in height, and subsequently not making sure the entered text is
10pt max in font-size... (maybe even a bit smaller to make sure) it would
seem like 'asking for trouble' IYKWIM
I'm not really sure what the spec would say, but if it makes sense, this
should be considered an error, and so maybe the only problem would be that
FOP is ignoring it --*if* it turns out to be an error, that is. If the
spec
says nothing in particular, then I guess how such situations are dealt
with
is totally up to the implementors.
If the problem is something like the one I described above, I can only
suggest to avoid putting too large text inside the table-row..
Cheers,
Andreas
