Few Questions - CSS typesettings

[Anjan Ram Kumar]

Hi,

 

I was just exploring the “Vivliostyle viewer”, it is really great to use. I need a help in certain areas to explore more.

1.       CSS page media has limited ability to use header and footer area to load rich contents like images and text with formatting.  Is there any way to achieve this in  “Vivliostyle viewer”.

 

Below coding not supported in “Vivliostyle viewer”.

<footer>

<p>sample footer 1 <b>text</b></p>

<p><i>sasa</i></p>

<img src=”little.jpg”/>

</footer>

 

footer{ position: running(header);} 

@bottom-right{

padding-top: 0mm;  font-size: 8pt; line-height: 10pt;

content: element(header);

 font: 8.5pt "MyriadPro-Regular", Times, serif;

}

 

2.       Is there any way to achieve floats image or tables. To place image or tables  in page top or page bottom with out affecting the text flow in pages.

 

3.       I am using OTF fonts “STIX” which is converted to “type3” when generating PDF. Any options to preserve fonts in PDF or am I missing any configuration update.

You may find some answers to the current state of Vivliostyle on my portal

print-css.rocks

The current state of Vivliostyle is from my prospective not-ready-for-production because

it lacks too many feature at the moment that we have in competing tools like Antennahouse,

PDFreactor or PrinceXM (if you are considering generating PDF). The limitations are possibly

similar both for the formatter and the view because are depend on the same foundation afaik.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback, and apologies for the very late reply.

Currently Vivliostyle does not support the running() and element() functions.

Alternatively, you can create running headers and footers with Vivliostyle by using functionalities of Adaptive Layout.

The specification of Adaptive Layout is at: http://www.idpf.org/epub/pgt/

A tutorial of Adaptive Layout by Peter Sorotokin is also available at: http://sorotokin.com/adaptive-layout/

 

2.       Is there any way to achieve floats image or tables. To place image or tables  in page top or page bottom with out affecting the text flow in pages.

We are now working hard to support CSS Page Floats, which will make the behavior you mentioned possible:

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-page-floats/

We hope to deliver a (probably partial) implementation of it in a few month.

 

3.       I am using OTF fonts “STIX” which is converted to “type3” when generating PDF. Any options to preserve fonts in PDF or am I missing any configuration update.

This is a known issue originating from a PDF backend we are using in Vivliostyle Formatter.

(TTF fonts do not have this problem; they are embedded in PDF without conversion)

We are also working on this issue.

We do not have a precise timeline for delivering the fix, but it will at least take a several months.
