shading an docbook programlisting causes flow problems in PDF output
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:38:05 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: I am trying to create a PDF coument from a DocBook XML source using xmlto. I added an XSL fragment to shade the background of a <programlisting> block - fo:block has the attribute background-color="#E0E0E0". This causes a programlisting of longer than 60 lines to run off the page instead of flowing to the next page. If I don't shade the block then the flow is OK and multiple pages are used for the programlisting. Not sure if this is a passivetex bug or a tetex bug or some where else. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run xmlto -m pdf.xml pdf text.xml 2.observe output in acroread or other PDF viewer 3. Actual Results: programlisting is truncated Expected Results: porgramlisting should have comtinued to multiple pages Additional info:
Created attachment 90781 [details] docbook source file with programlisting
Created attachment 90782 [details] XSL to add shading to programlisting for test.xml
passivetex-1.23-1 from rawhide exhibits the same bad behaviour. Seems like it's a passivetex bug of some sort. More precisely, it seems to be the handling of background-color that's at fault, since xmlto fo -m pdf.xsl test.xml perl -pi -e 's, background-color="#E0E0E0",,' test.fo xmlto --skip-validation pdf test.fo produces correct output, although of course without the desired background colour. Reported to docbook-apps mailing list, in case there's a known solution already.
