Description: ===================================================
10
``z3c.rml`` -- An alternative implementation of RML
11
===================================================
13
This is an alternative implementation of ReportLab's RML PDF generation XML
14
format. Like the original implementation, it is based on ReportLab's
15
``reportlab`` library.
17
You can read all about ``z3c.rml`` and see many examples on how to use it,
18
see the "RML Reference":http://svn.zope.org/z3c.rml/trunk/src/z3c/rml/rml-reference.pdf?view=auto
28
- I found a more complete paragraph border patch from Yuan Hong. Now the DTD
29
is updated, the border supports a border radius and the tag-para.rml sample
35
- Upgraded to ReportLab 2.4. This required some font changes and several
36
generated PDFs did not match, since some default fonts changed.
38
- Upgraded to latest lxml. This only required a trivial change. Patch by Felix
41
- Implemented ``linePlot3D`` directive. Patch by Faisal Puthuparackat.
43
- Added paragraph border support. Patch by Yuan Hong.
45
- Bug: Fixed version number in reference.pt. Patch by Felix Schwarz.
47
- Bug: Write PDF documents in binary mode. Patch by Felix Schwarz.
53
- Bug: Use python executable as a part of the subprocess command.
55
- Add support for RML's `pageNumber` element.
61
- Make sure that the output dir is included in the distribution.
67
- Upgraded to work with ReportLab 2.1 and lxml 1.3.6.
69
- Fix sub-process tests for a pure egg setup.
75
- Bug: When the specified page size (within the ``pageInfo`` element) was a
76
word or set thereof, the processing would fail. Thanks to Chris Zelenak for
77
reporting the bug and providing a patch.
83
- Feature: Added a Chinese PDF sample file to ``tests/expected`` under the
84
name ``sample-shipment-chinese.pdf``.
86
- Feature: Added another tag that is commonly needed in projects. The
87
``<keepTogether>`` tag will keep the child flowables in the same frame.
88
When necessary, the frame break will be automatic. Patch by Yuan Hong.
90
- Feature: Added the "alignment" attribute to the ``blockTable``
91
directive. This attribute defines the horizontal alignment for a table that
92
is not 100% in width of the containing flowable. Patch by Yuan Hong.
94
- Feature: When creating Chinese PDF documents, the normal TTF for Chinese
95
printing is 'simsun'. However, when bold text is neeed, we switch to
96
'simhei'. To properly register this, we need the
97
``reportlab.lib.fonts.addMapping`` function. This is missing in the reportlab
98
RML specification, so a new directive has been defined::
100
<addMapping faceName="simsun" bold="1" italic="0" psName="simhei" />
104
- Feature: The ``para`` and ``paraStyle`` directive now support the "wordWrap"
105
attribute, which allows for selecting a different wrod wrapping
106
algorithm. This is needed because some far-East Asian languages do not use
107
white space to separate words. Patch by Yuan Hong.
109
- Bug: Handle Windows drive letters correctly. Report and fix by Yuan Hong.
115
- Bug: Fixed setup.py to include all dependencies.
117
- Bug: Added test to show that a blocktable style can be applied multiple
118
times. A user reported that this is not working, but I could not replicate
121
- Update: Updated the expected renderings to ReportLab 2.1. There were some
122
good layout fixes that broke the image comparison.
