hello all

i'm using the xsl stylesheets to create a pdf file using fop
everything in the latest version

i have a problem with my glossary
due to the fact, that e have relatively long terms, the term is written over the definition in pdf, where the glossary is in table format.

questions:
1. is there a variable to get my glossary in block format like for variablelist through:
<xsl:param name="variablelist.as.blocks" select="1"/>

2. is there a possibility to make the term wrap in its table cell, this would be the best.

Well, a glossary isn't in a table.
The current fo stylesheet puts a glossary in a
fo:list-block, glossentries in a
fo:list-item, the glossterm in a fo:list-item-label
and the glossdef in a fo:list-item-body.
So the fo output is already doing the equivalent of
the variablelist.  The label just isn't being handled
properly by FOP when it is longer than its designated
width.


thanks for your response

there are so many small issues with fop, that i have switched to passivetex for pdf generation

cheers
