No.2002112205   When formatting an English document with XSL Formatter and FOP having the same font name, font size and line height specified. The value of the line height is different in both applications. Why?
No.2002112204   I don't want to separate my string after the colon of document reference when it comes at the end of line and it's too long to be end. However, I have no way to keep them together.
No.2002112203   When I specify the end-indent and last-line-end-indent attributes on fo:block, the text breaks at the place where "leader-pattern" is specified, which should fit in one line. Then the rest of the text (page number) is the only thing appearing on the second line.
No.2002112202   I specified indent using the "from-nearest-specified-value" property. However, the text was not indented.
No.2002112201   Is it OK to execute XSL Formatter from the two different processes at the same time? If it's OK, are these formatting processes executed at the same time, or is either one in a wait mode?
No.2002111508   Why was the text indented though I didn't spcify any indent property to a block-container? Why it appeared as I didn't expected?
No.2002111507   XSL Formatter does not report as an error even if two or more fo:markers that share the same parent have the same "marker-class-name" property. I think this behavior viorates 6.11.3, Constraints: no duplicate marker class names w/in same parent.
No.2002111506   When we specified writing-mode from right to left only on simple-page-master and rendered with XSL Formatter, the writing mode is applied to the contents of the pages that use that master. The spec says that writing-mode on simple-page-master only determines the positions of the page regions. The spec says explicitly that writing mode within a flow must be set by using a nested block-container. Therefore I think it would be against the XSL spec that the writing-mode affects the contents of page master. The behavior when writing-mode is specified to fo:region-body is different between XSL Formatter and XEP. Why?
No.2002111505   When I display a text with mixture of Hebrew and numbers in IE and the same text in XSL Formatter, both results look different. Why?
No.2002111504   In the text mixed with Hebrew and numbers, the parent's path is even (level 0) so my interpretation is that Hebrew is at level 1 and the numbers should be at level 2 in BIDI algorithm. Is that right?

No.2002110805   When the table is inside of another table and lines of a block in a table cell do span across a page boundary, the lines are kept together and the whole table goes to the next page. Why?
No.2002110804   When the column width is auto specified, also I specify border as hidden to a cell, border as solid to the next cell. Then the cell with no border becomes narrow and text inside the cell breaks without having entered. Why?
No.2002110803   Thai characters appear as dots when creating the bookmarks using Distiller.

I've noticed that if the FO document I'm formatting refers to graphics that are not available (i.e., wrong filename in the src= attribute), AXFO returns a success return code (RC zero) but doesn't do the formatting. If there is a more serious problem, then I get a failure return code and a message. I suspect that these are warnings, so success is returned, but no output is created. Unfortunately, the environment I'm calling the Execute() method from (Epic editor) doesn't give me a way to intercept COM events so I have no way to trap the warnings.
