unknown fo:block in a shortdesc in a link #PDF #shortdesc
|
Zoë Lawson
I am working on an fop PDF from DITA-OT 3.3.1.
I am including child links in the content, and have the shortdesc displaying.
There's some additional block inside of the link__shortdesc block that is mucking with my formatting, and I can't figure out what it is.
Anyone have a guess?
Thanks,
Zoë

Hi, Zoe.
There's definitely some issues with styling short descriptions as displayed in related links. I ran into this last summer, when I spent several hours (without success) in trying to style them for the OASIS PDFs. I'll see if I can dig out my notes.
Leigh White, in the 2nd edition of her book, comments on page 430
that the attribute set link __shortdesc (in links-attr.xsl, called
from links.xsl) "does not work out of the box; specifications for
the shortdesc attribute set in commons-attr.xsl
override this attribute set."

That helped.
I was able to get the formatting to display correctly by setting margin-left to inherit for topic__shortdesc.
Then when I style link__shortdesc, the margin is inherited.
Unfortunately this means there’s an fo warning because the topic shortdesc doesn’t have a margin to inherit...but at least it looks right.
I’m going to take the partial victory.
Thanks!
