ImportHTML support for CSS3 running header/footer

by **stevej** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 3:00 pm

Hi,

Is there any support for the CSS3 running header styles? Example:

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> @page { @top-left { content: element(leftHeader) }; } div.leftHeader { position: running(leftHeader); } </style> </head> <body> <div class="leftHeader"> <p>Header Text</p> </div> <div> <p>Page content here....</p> </div> </body> </html>

Flying saucer supports this - the header element is repeated at the top of every page when exported to PDF, but not with DOCX.

Thanks,
Steve

iirc, no.

But if the info is available from FlyingSaucer, then it could be converted to a HeaderPart (or FooterPart) and referenced in a sectPr element.

Hi,

I am facing the same issue.
Do you mean rendering the html with flyingsaucer using ITextRenderer and then get the appropriate header from it?
Something like this:

Code: Select all: ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer(); renderer.setDocument(new File("header_runningelements.html")); renderer.layout(); Layer layer = renderer.getRootBox().getLayer(); PageBox firstPage = (PageBox) layer.getPages().get(0); BlockBox leftHeader = layer.getRunningBlock("leftHeader", firstPage, PageElementPosition.FIRST);

now I have a left header box, I can reuse the code in XHTMLImporter.traverse() to render the content and put it in the header/footer part.

Could you please confirm if this is a good direction? Or is there a better way?

Thanks,
László
