<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My personal pick for version 4.17 would
be table markers. We currently generate reports that are grouped,
and our customers require that we add the word "(continued)"
to the group heading when it spans more that one page. For example
we may have a report that is grouped by state. The column headings
are displayed by an outer table, and each state is a separate table embedded
within the first table. The column heading for the embedded table
is the state name which spans all columns. If the data for Alabama
spanned more that one page, the heading on the first page would be "Alabama"
and "Alabama (continued)" on all subsequent pages. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are currently handling adding the
"continued" using rx:pinpoint and xslt that gets run on the XEP
intermediate format. Although this solution works, it is not pretty.
There are instances where I have to change font characteristics (family,
size, weight, color...) and then make sure to change them back before moving
on. And the way that rx:pinpoint works is confusing. There
seems to be no rhyme or reason to the values that are assigned to x and
y. It would be really nice if the values of x and y were related
to the <xep:text> elements that reside in the same fo:block as the
rx;pinpoint.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In this case it would be helpful if
x and y matched the x and y values of the first xep:text element that follows
the xep:pinpoint.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><fo:block></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> <rx:pinpoint
value="{text()}"/></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> <xsl:value-of
select="text()"/></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"></fo:block></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In this case it would be helpful if
x and y pointed to the end of the previous xep:text element (x +
width). This would be the position at which you could start appending
new text.</font>
