bpil-penalty-hyphenation100Specifies the frequency of hyphenation in [BPIL] with a value of 0 to 1000. Hyphenation is more likely to occur with smaller values.
condensed-text-align-lastjustifySpecifies the initial value when axf:condensed-text-align-last="auto" is specified. You can specify false, true or justify.
css-allow-bare-expressionfalseIn CSS, a description like the following is a grammar violation: 
font-size: 20pt + 30pt;
Correctly, it must be: 
font-size: calc(20pt + 30pt);
However, up to Antenna House Formatter V7.1, it allowed some bare expressions that are not enclosed in calc(). If you specify true, it will allow bare expressions.
css-child-match-rootfalseUp to CSS3, pseudo-classes, such as :first-child or :only-of-type will not match the root element, but in CSS4, it will. If true is specified, it will match the root element.
css-debugfalse Specify true to enable the CSS debugging feature in GUI. ☞ CSS Debug Tree V7.4 no-LT
css-float-in-floattrue fo:float inside fo:float is prohibited in FO, but there is no such restriction in CSS. If false is specified, nested float properties in CSS will be ignored.
css-media-typeprintAntenna House Formatter V7.4 evaluates print among @media settings of CSS. You can specify any number of media types using the white space character as a delimiter. For example, specify like css-media-type="print screen". all or ah-formatter @media values are always evaluated regardless of this setting. Otherwise, only the specified ones will be evaluated.
default-CJKSpecifies the language (such as jpn or kor) to be applied when a script is ambiguous for CJK. Although the default value is determined from the operating environment, Japanese language is considered when the operating environment is other than CJK. In GUI, the setting can be changed by Default CJK Language.
default-color#000000Specifies the default color of text with the format of #RRGGBB. You can also specify the color name, rgb() or rgb-icc(). However, RGB cannot be omitted with rgb-icc(). ☞ Default Color
default-font-size *10ptSpecifies the default font size with the real type numerical value.
default-from-page-master-regionfalse In XSL 1.1, there is no compatibility with XSL 1.0 in the method of evaluating writing-mode or reference-orientation. If true is specified, it becomes the same operation as the following are specified for fo:page-sequence. 
writing-mode=​"from-page-master-region()"
reference-orientation=​"from-page-master-region()"
For more details, see from-page-master-region().
default-html-charsetUTF-8Specifies the default encoding of HTML. This setting is applied to HTML with unknown encoding. When the setting is in HTML, or the encoding can be recognized by BOM, they are adopted. See also encoding of <text-settings>. Case insensitive.
default-langSpecifies the default language code. The language code follows ISO 639-2. There is no default value. default-lang specifies the language when FO doesn't have the language specification. This is outputted as the language information to the PDF. The default value of default-lang is empty. At this time, if the language is not specified for FO etc., the language information is not outputted to the PDF. The language specified to default-lang2 is adopted when default-lang is empty.
default-lang2engSpecifies the language actually adopted when default-lang is empty. When default-lang2 is empty, it depends on the locale of the system.
default-page-height *297mmSpecifies the default page height with the real type numerical value.
default-page-margin-bottom *10%Specifies a default page margin with the real type numerical value. A percent value is considered a ratio out of the page width or the page height.

It isn't restricted by http: or https:. If disable-network is specified, all network access such as http: or https: are also restricted in addition to it. no-LT
display-alttextfalseSpecifies whether to display an alternate text by axf:alttext or the alt attribute when there is no image in <fo:external-graphic> or HTML <img>. When true is specified, an alternate text is displayed. When false is specified and the src attribute is specified, an alternate image is displayed. no-LT
double-hyphen-translineationpor In Portuguese hyphenation, a hyphen is also placed at the start of the line when a line break occurs at a hyphen. With double-hyphen-translineation, specify comma-separated languages for such hyphenation. If you specify empty or false, you can cancel the process of placing a hyphen at the start of the line as well. it is invalid when hyphenate="false" is specified. ☞ axf:double-hyphen-translineation V7.4
error-if-overflowfalseSpecifies whether to perform the same check as error-if-overflow and report an overflow error when overflow="auto" is specified. no-LT

except-non-starter-charactersSpecifies the except-non-starter characters. This setting will be ignored even if white spaces are specified. See also the extension property axf:except-non-starter-characters.
external-entitytrueSpecifies whether the external reference is allowed or not with <!ENTITY> of XML (FO, XHTML, SVG, MathML etc.) to be formatted. Note that it does not work on external XSLT processor called from Antenna House Formatter V7.4. See also XSLT Settings.
family-name-syntaxautoSpecify whether to strictly check the syntax of the value of font-family. When strict is specified, it is evaluated exactly as Font family: the font-family property. Until Antenna House Formatter V6.5, only a pretty loose check has been done, so even it is strictly an error, it does not become an error. For example, the following setting is strictly an error: 
font-family="Abc 123"
You must specify it as follows: 
font-family="'Abc 123'"
Specify loose if you want to loosen the check. If auto is specified, it is considered strict in CSS and it is considered loose in FO.
fix-css-img-percentagetrueSpecifies how to handle the reference standard when width and height for images in CSS is specified by %. true interprets according to the specification. For details, see Changes from Antenna House Formatter V7.0.
fixed-width-space-treatmenttrue Fonts seldom contain glyphs for characters, such as EM SPACE (U+2003) etc., that represent white space with fixed width. At that time, a substitution glyph is displayed and the white space is not shown correctly. fixed-width-space-treatment specifies the treatment of a fixed white space.
  • false : Does nothing.
  • true : Inserts a white space when there is no glyph in the font. When there is a glyph in the font, it will be used.
  • always : Always inserts a white space without depending on the font. Even If there is a glyph in the font, it will not be used.
The target characters and their widths are as follows (in units of em):
U+2000EN QUAD1/2
U+2001EM QUAD1
U+2002EN SPACE1/2
U+2003EM SPACE1
U+2004THREE-PER-EM SPACE1/3
U+2005FOUR-PER-EM SPACE1/4
U+2006SIX-PER-EM SPACE1/6
U+2007FIGURE SPACEThe same width of the figure “0”.
U+2008PUNCTUATION SPACEThe same width of the punctuation period “.”.
U+2009THIN SPACEDepends on the setting of thin-space-width.
U+200AHAIR SPACEDepends on the setting of hair-space-width.
U+205FMEDIUM MATHEMATICAL SPACE4/18
hair-space-width0.1Specifies the character width of HAIR SPACE (U+200A) in units of em, when fixed-width-space-treatment="true" is specified.
href-page-linkfalseUnlike FO, HTML has id value that is not NCName, so id like "123" is allowed. Therefore, when <a href="#123"> is specified, the id "123" is the target. When href-page-link​="true" is specified, it will be considered a page number and easily move to the specified page in HTML.
hyphen-minfalseSpecifies whether to enable <hyphen-min> in the Hyphenation Exception Dictionary.
hyphenation-keep-modewordSpecifies the processing method when the word at the end of the page (column) is hyphenated by hyphenation-keep="page", etc. word pushes out the word to the next page (column). line pushes out that line to the next page (column). You need to be careful when you use word. See Hyphenation. However, in <fo:float> where the value of axf:float-x is other than none and the value of axf:float-y is none, it is always considered line.
hyphenation-TeXWhen HyphenationOption="true" is specified, enumerates a comma-delimited list of languages that you want to hyphenate using a TeX dictionary, e.g.: hyphenation-TeX="ces,deu". no-LT
HyphenationOptiontrue Specifies whether to hyphenate words by using the custom processing that supports over 40 languages or to use TeX hyphenation dictionaries. If false is specified, words will be hyphenated by using TeX dictionaries. If so, only the languages that have a dictionary can be hyphenated.
ignore-certificate-errorfalseIgnores incorrect certificate errors, such as self-signed certificate, in https:. For safety, it is not recommended to set it to true.
intrusion-displace-mode6In Antenna House Formatter V6, there are some changes from Antenna House Formatter V5 in the behavior of the intrusion-displace property. Specify when you want to make it the same as V5.
  1. Operates the same as Antenna House Formatter V5.

jamo-ligaturetrueSpecifies whether to process the ligature of Hangul Jamo (U+1100 to U+11FF) with the value of true or false. If true is specified, processes the ligature of Hangul Jamo. If false, does nothing. This setting affects the value of the extension property axf:ligature-mode="auto". This ligature uses jamo of GSUB feature in the OpenType font. no-LT
justify-leaderfalseAlthough the leader functions in the justified line, the leader itself is not justified. leader-alignment="none" specifies whether the leader itself is justified or not when the contents are only the text, by leader-pattern="dots" or leader-pattern="use-content". If true is specified, the space may be generated between characters in the leader, the leader may become irregular against the other leaders. However, the space at the end of the leader will disappear.
justify-rowspan-heightXSL-FO Samples CollectionJustify the height of table cellsfalseWhen there is a cell with rowspan and the height of the cell is high, specifies whether the height of each row occupied by the cell should be as even as possible. When there is a row or cell with height specified, or when there is a cell whose text direction is rotating, it is processed so that only the height of the row after that row is even. no-LT
keep-footnote-anchortrueWhen a block including a footnote anchor does not fit within the page, the lines up to the dividable position after the anchor are sent to the previous page. See also Changes from Antenna House Formatter V6.2.
latin-ligaturetrueSpecifies whether to process the ligature in European languages with the value of true or false. If true is specified, the ligature will be processed. If false is specified, it will not be processed. This setting affects the value of axf:ligature-mode="auto".
no-disp-warningsSuppress Error Messages that are output on GUI or Command-line. Specifies by enumerating the error code in decimal or hexadecimal as no-disp-warnings="10754 0x320D". No error message corresponding to the specified error code is output. Also, if specified as no-disp-warnings="*1", all error messages with error level 1 will not be output. V7.4MR8 It is invalid for errors where the processing is interrupted. no-LT
non-starter-ideographic-spacetrueSpecifies whether to treat the ideographic space as a non-starter character. See also Treatment of full-width white space.
normal-line-height1.2Specifies the default line height with the real type numerical value. A unit is not specified. The value means the ratio to the font size. The initial value is 1.2. Therefore, in case the font size is 10pt, the line height becomes 12pt.
normalizenfc Specifies the method of the normalization to be adopted when axf:normalize="auto" is specified. The following values (case insensitive) can be specified: no-LT
  • none : Does not normalize text.
  • nfc : Performs NFC.

  • nfkc : Performs NFKC.
  • nfkd : Performs NFKD.
See also Changes from Antenna House Formatter V6.0.
oblique-skew0Specifies the amount of the inclination when using font-style="oblique" or "backslant". When 0 or less is specified, it is considered the system default. The font is inclined by the system default whenever there is no italic in the font when using font-style="italic". This setting is effective with the following outputs:
osdc-cmd When OSDC is specified for axf:image-preproc, you can specify the Command-line to be adopted with the full path. For example, specify osdc-cmd="/usr/OfficeServerDocumentConverterV90/bin/SBCCmd". This makes it possible to run Office Server Document Converter even if PATH is not added to Office Server Document Converter. Specify SBCCmd.exe for Windows versions. V7.4
osdc-param When OSDC is specified for axf:image-preproc, you can specify parameters when running the Command-line of Office Server Document Converter. Enter a space character between the parameter name and its value. If parameters with the same name are specified, the one specified later is valid. The combination of parameter name and value is equivalent to OSDC[params] of axf:image-preproc. Also, if there are parameters with the same name specified by axf:image-preproc="OSDC [params]", the parameters specified by axf:image-preproc will take precedence. An example of setting is as follows: 
osdc-param="-pdfver PDF1.6"
V7.4

small-caps-emulation-x-heighttrueIf the font has x-height and cap-height, the emulation magnification of small-caps is x-height/cap-height. If the font does not have them, it will be small-caps-emulation-size.
splitting-blocks-spacefalseIn CSS, when breaking a block with the height of auto, specifies whether to adjust the height of the block in the previous page (column) to the height of the page (column), or leave it as blank. When true is specified, it's left as blank, which is contrary to the CSS specification. See also Splitting blocks.
tab-overlap-treatmentignore-tab Specifies a behavior when tab alignment makes letters overlapped, by selecting from either ignore-tab or next-tab. See axf:tab-overlap-treatment. no-LT
table-auto-layout-limit100 When table-layout="auto" is specified, it is necessary to look ahead and read the table to decide the width of column. The number of row to read ahead can be limited because it takes a long time to read all row in a too huge table. After reading ahead up to the number of row specified here, the width of column is decided. If 0 is specified, all row is read, and then the width of column is decided. For more details, see Table Auto Layout.
table-is-reference-areafalse In XSL 1.1, there is no compatibility with XSL 1.0 about whether to make fo:table a reference area. If true is specified, fo:table will be made a reference area and its operation will be the same as XSL 1.0. For more details, see Incompatibility of fo:table.
text-autospacetrueSpecifies whether to insert spaces surrounding ideographic glyphs to make them look better with the value of true or false, in the document ideographic and non-ideographic glyphs are mixed. If the value is true, a space will be inserted to make them look better. If the value is false, a space won't be inserted. This setting affects the value of axf:text-autospace="auto" in extended FO.

text-kashida-space100%Specifies the percentage of the Kashida in Arabic justification. The value indicates the percentage of white space and Kashida. If the value is 0%, Kashida is not inserted and only the white space expands as well as the normal justification. If the value is 100%, Kashida is inserted as much as possible. This setting affects the value of axf:text-kashida-space="auto" in extended FO.
text-orientation-mode6Specifies whether UAX#50: Unicode Vertical Text Layout is taken into consideration by the value of axf:text-orientation when rendering alphanumeric characters, etc. to be upright in vertical writing mode with the following values: no-LT
5.UAX#50 is not taken into consideration.
6.SVO and MVO are taken into consideration.
7.In addition to 6, axf:text-orientation="auto" is treated as "mixed".
Note:
  • The layout of SVO/MVO do not match the one defined in UAX#50. See also Glyphs in Vertical Text.
  • SVO is applied to the text with axf:text-orientation="upright" specified in FO or text-orientation:upright; specified in CSS.
  • MVO is applied to the text with axf:text-orientation="mixed" specified in FO or text-orientation:mixed; specified in CSS.

thin-space-width0.2Specifies the character width of THIN SPACE (U+2009) in units of em, when fixed-width-space-treatment="true" is specified.
two-pass-formattingfalseWhen formatting a huge document with a large amount of unresolved <fo:page-number-citation>, a large amount of memories are consumed because the cancellation of the page information is impossible. Therefore, the limit is caused in the number of pages to format. This parameter solves that problem by making the formatting two passes. Although its processing time may be increased, only the page number information which should be solved will consume the memory and the memory consumption will be extremely decreased. This setting is invalid with CSS formatting. This setting is invalid with GUI. ☞ Formatting Large Document no-LT
use-default-page-margin-CSStrueSpecifies whether default-page-margin-* is adopted or not when there is no margin specification in @page in CSS.
use-default-page-margin-XSLfalseSpecifies whether default-page-margin-* is adopted or not when there is no margin specification in fo:simple-page-master in XSL.
unicode-bidi-revSpecifies the revision of UAX#9: Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm that Antenna House Formatter V7.4 conforms to. A value greater than or equal to 37 is considered 41. If the value is less than 37, it follows the algorithm compatible with V6.6 (about revision 27). At that time, the following control characters cannot be handled correctly. U+2066 is considered U+202D, U+2067 is considered U+202E and U+2069 is considered U+202C for each. If no value is set, the latest revision supported by Antenna House Formatter V7.4 is used. See also BIDI Algorithm Implementation Restrictions for implementation restrictions when not V6.6 compatible.

vertical-block-width-mode6The behavior of the auto value of the width of vertical-text block within horizontal-text flow (or the height of horizontal-text block within vertical-text flow) is changed with Antenna House Formatter V6. Specify when you want to make it the same as V5.
  1. Operates the same as Antenna House Formatter V5. The width of vertical-text block is given by the width of the outer area.
  2. Adds the improved operation by Antenna House Formatter V6. The width of vertical-text block shrinks to fit the content.
See also Changes from Antenna House Formatter V5.
vertical-underline-sideauto In the XSL specification, there is no description about the underline in vertical writing mode. The vertical-underline-side property is an option which specifies whether to place the underline in vertical writing mode on the right side or on the left side. If left or right is specified, the underline is placed on the left or on the right. If auto is specified, the underline is placed on the right side when the language property is Japanese (jpn) or Korean (kor). The underline is placed on the left side when the language property is other than Japanese (jpn) or Korean (kor). If there is no language properties specified, it depends on the default-CJK language setting. This setting affects the value of the extension property, axf:vertical-underline-side="auto".
viewport-length-units-mode6Specifies whether to adapt the CSS3 interpretation of the vw and vh units.
  1. Makes the vw and vh units based on the page size.
  2. Makes the vw and vh units based on the size of the area excluding the page margins.

  • One character : ““” or “&#x201C;”, etc.
  • 4-digit hexadecimal numbers : 201C
  • Set of 4-digit hexadecimal numbers : 202A-202E
Characters greater than or equal to U+10000 cannot be specified.
U or R or V can be specified to SVO or MVO. It means that U renders upright, R rotates 90-degree clockwise. V is same as U, but when vertical writing glyph is designed to rotate 90-degree counterclockwise originally, it is displayed by rotating 90-degree clockwise. See also text-orientation-mode. no-LT

<unbreakable-words>child of <formatter-settings> (This element can be specified as many times as necessary)
List the unbreakable words by the line break. The character string of each line will become unbreakable. For example, if you write as follows, two phrases will become unbreakable: 
<unbreakable-words>
こんにちは
Hello World
</unbreakable-words>
The leading and trailing white spaces (U+0009, U+0020) will be discarded. Consecutive white spaces (U+0009, U+0020) are grouped together and match consecutive white spaces (U+0009, U+000A, U+000D, U+0020) including line breaks. So taking the above example, any of the following will become unbreakable: 
Hello World
Hello    World
Hello
World
Because the first phrase found from the start of the character string is the target, if 
ABCD
CDEF
is specified, ABCD will be unbreakable for the character string of ABCDEFG. Since it is case sensitive, Abcd, etc. will not become unbreakable.
Also, as Antenna House Formatter V7.4 tries to adopt as long a phrase as possible, if 
ABCD
ABCDEF
is specified, ABCDEF will become unbreakable for the character string of ABCDEFG. If 
cafe
is specified, café and cafe&#x301; will not become unbreakable. To make all of these unbreakable, you should specify as follows: 
cafe
café
cafe&#x301;
Note the following:
  • This processing is performed for character string of input XML. In other words, it is performed before processing axf:normalize or axf:text-replace, etc. Therefore, unbreakable character strings may be processed by them.
  • If a character string that causes ligature, for example, ffi is specified as unbreakable up to ff, ligature as ffi will not occur.

1.The level 1 error message will be reported.
2.The level 2 error message will be reported.
3.The level 3 error message will be reported.
4.The level 4 error message will be reported.
No error will be reported when small-caps-emulation-always="true" is specified.
fallback-glyph1Specifies whether to report it or not when the glyph is found in a fall back font. When the glyph corresponding to the specified character in the font family is not found, if auto-fallback-font is specified, a fall back font will be looked for. The following either can be specified:
0.No error message will be reported.
1.The level 1 error message will be reported.
2.The level 2 error message will be reported.
3.The level 3 error message will be reported.
4.The level 4 error message will be reported.
font-selection-mode6Specifies the selection method of fonts. The following values can be specified:

1.The level 1 error message will be reported.
2.The level 2 error message will be reported.
3.The level 3 error message will be reported.
4.The level 4 error message will be reported.
missing-glyph-allfalseUsually the report on missing-glyph is given only once to the same character. However, by specifying missing-glyph-all="true", the report can be given to all. Note that careless specification could cause huge amount of error. This setting is similarly applied to fallback-glyph as well.
<script-font>child of <font-settings> (This element can be specified as many times as necessary) See also Font Selection
scriptSpecifies the script codes for multilingual setting. The available scripts conform to ISO 15924. However, the Antenna House Formatter V7.4 does not support all scripts. The scripts that can be specified here are scripts that are indicated in Scripts and Languages excluding Hira, Kana, and Hani or including Zsye, Zsym. For generic fonts you may omit the setting of the script or specify as script="".

fallbackIntroduction to CSS for Paged MediafallbackSpecifies the fall back font of the script when specified by the script. Two or more fonts can be enumerated by comma-separated values.
<font-alias>child of <font-settings> (This element can be specified as many times as necessary)
src Formats the font name src (source) appearing in FO (or HTML etc.) by replacing with dst (destination). This is achieved by specifying an arbitrary font name for src and dst. This makes it possible to substitute an unknown font in a document made in a different environment, without modifying the document. However, in the following sample: 
<font-alias src="A" dst="B">
<font-alias src="B" dst="C">
“A” would never be replaced with “C”. Moreover, the setting for <font-alias> doesn't affect the font name in the Option file.
dst

PDF Output Settings

These settings are used for PDF Output.

ElementAttributeDefaultDescription
<pdf-settings>child of <formatter-config>
add-actualtext-to-artifactfalse When true is specified, ActualText will also be set to the string tagged in Artifact when outputting Tagged PDF. V7.4MR7
allow-deprecated-annotationfalse In PDF2.0, some annotations (Movie, Sound) are deprecated. These cannot be output. If you specify true, you will be able to output these in PDF2.0. V7.4
allow-embedding-lower-versionsfalse In PDF2.0, embedding of PDF1.X is deprecated. If you specify true, you will be able to embed PDF1.X in PDF2.0. V7.4
allow-javascripttrueWhen false is specified, even if JavaScript is specified by openaction or axf:action-type, it will be ignored. no-LT
allow-nest-alt-texttrueWhen outputting Tagged PDF, specify false if you do not want to set alternate text for tags descended from tags that have alternate text settings for accessibility reasons. Child tags of the tags that have alternate text settings will no longer have alternate text. In that case, you may not be able to find or copy text that does not have a one-to-one correspondence between glyphs and Unicode using complex scripts.
alt-text-length-limit80Sets the upper limit length of alternative text when outputting Tagged PDF. If a negative value is set, length will be unlimited. V7.4MR8
check-tag-relationshipfalseIf true is specified, the validity of the parent-child relationship between tags is verified and a warning is issued for an invalid structure when outputting Tagged PDF2.0.
color-compressionauto When the color image format cannot be stored directly in PDF, the image is stored after being transformed into a bit map format that is compatible with PDF. The compression method of the data stored in a PDF file is then specified by one of the following values:
  • auto
  • zlib
  • jpeg
  • jpeg2000
  • keeplzw
  • auto2k
  • keeplzw2k
When auto is selected, the process is automatically done and creates the image data according to the setting of color-jpeg-quality. When keeplzw is specified, if the original image is LZW compressed, it becomes the LZW compression. If not, it becomes the same as auto. Whichever has the smaller compressed size, JPEG or ZLIB, is selected. auto2k and keeplzw2k are equivalent to auto and keeplzw each, except that compression will be done with JPEG 2000 instead of JPEG. However, they are same as auto and keeplzw in case of PDF1.4 or earlier.
See also Image Output to learn about the file formats which can be stored directly in PDF. This is the setting for the color image. Specifies grayscale-compression for the grayscale image, and monochrome-compression for the monochrome image. In GUI, it can be specified by selecting the Compression option. JPEG 2000 is effective only with PDF1.5 or later.
color-compression-defaultautoSpecifies the value of the compression method of the color image when pressing the “Reset Default Settings” button or the “High Compression Settings” button in the Compression page in the PDF Option Setting Dialog in GUI. no-LT
color-compression-minimumauto2k
color-conversionnoneSpecifies how to convert the RGB or CMYK color space to DeviceGray or DeviceCMYK.
  • none
    Does nothing.
  • black
    Converts RGB's Black to DeviceGray before outputting.
  • gray
    Converts RGB's Gray color (mono tone) to DeviceGray before outputting.
  • all-gray
    Converts all RGB or CMYK color spaces to DeviceGray before outputting. This conversion is based on the following formula: gray = 0.3×red + 0.59×green + 0.11×blue (0.0 ≤ red,green,blue ≤ 1.0). When it is CMYK, converts CMYK to RGB and then converts it to gray.
  • all-cmyk
    Converts all RGB color spaces to CMYK before outputting. When it is CMYK, does nothing.
It's possible to change the setting by Color Conversion in GUI. Similarly converts SVG, CGM, MathML, EMF and WMF that are rendered by the original rendering engine. The other images are converted as below:
  • Converts the color space for all-gray and all-cmyk; however Antenna House Formatter V7.4 Lite converts no colors. no-LT
  • Converts no color space except for all-gray and all-cmyk.
When PDF/X-1a is specified to output, it is considered that all-gray or all-cmyk is specified. See also PDF/X for the handling of RGB in PDF/X.
color-conversion-k100false When color-conversion="all-cmyk" is specified, depending on the ICC profile, RGB black (rgb(0,0,0)) does not necessarily become K100 (cmyk(0,0,0,1)). Specifying color-conversion-k100="true" will always convert black to K100. V7.4
color-downsamplingnone Specifies the method to downsample the raster color image that is put into PDF.
  • none
  • average
  • bicubic
  • subsampling
When a value other than none is specified, the image that has resolution greater than the one specified by color-downsampling-above-dpi will be downsampled to the resolution specified by color-downsampling-target-dpi. This is the setting for the color image. Specifies grayscale-downsampling for the grayscale image, and monochrome-downsampling for the monochrome image. In GUI, it can be specified by selecting the Downsampling option.
color-downsampling-above-dpi450
color-downsampling-target-dpi300
color-downsampling-defaultnoneSpecifies the value of the downsampling of the color image when pressing the “Reset Default Settings” button or the “High Compression Settings” button in the Compression page in the PDF Option Setting Dialog in GUI. no-LT

color-jpeg-quality80 For the color image format that cannot be stored directly in PDF, specifies the image quality by the numerical value within the range of 1 to 100 when jpeg is specified by color-compression. The higher the number the better the quality in proportion to the increase in the number; however the file size also becomes larger. Converts this value to the compression ratio to use in case of jpeg2000. This is the setting for the color image. Specifies grayscale-jpeg-quality for the grayscale image. In GUI, it can be specified by selecting the JPEG Quality option.
color-jpeg-quality-default80Specifies the value of the JPEG image quality of the color image when pressing the “Reset Default Settings” button or the “High Compression Settings” button in the Compression page in the PDF Option Setting Dialog in GUI. no-LT

Invalid in the environment where each processor is not installed. Moreover, it's necessary to set the PATH etc. of the program to use.
error-on-embed-faultfalse When an error occurs while embedding fonts, specifies whether to stop formatting as an error by using the value of true or false. If the value is true, stops formatting as an error. If the value is false, continues formatting without embedding fonts. In GUI, it can be specified by selecting the When Embedding Fails option.
error-on-missing-glyphfalse When the corresponding glyph for the specified character does not exist in the specified font, specifies whether to stop formatting as an error or to continue formatting by using the value of true or false. When true is specified, the processing will end as an error. When false is specified, although PDF is outputted, the character will be displayed as a white space or a small box in PDF for missing glyph. In GUI, it can be specified by selecting the Error on Missing Glyph option.
error-on-pdfx-faulttrueSpecifies whether to stop formatting as an error or ignore the unsuitable content and continue formatting when a content that is unsuitable for PDF/X, PDF/A or PDF/UA is detected while creating PDF/X, PDF/A or PDF/UA, such like PDF/X, PDF/A or PDF/UA that contains non-embeddable fonts. If false is specified, the processing is continued, a generated PDF may be incongruent as PDF/X, PDF/A or PDF/UA. If true is specified, PDF will not be generated as an error. When the unsuitable content is avoidable, the formatting continues. For example, annotations in PDF/X are thrown away. In GUI, it can be specified by selecting the Error on PDF/X, PDF/A or PDF/UA fault option. no-LT
fallback-alttextempty string Sets the string to fall back when the required axf:alttext is not specified. By default, a space character is set.

Thereby, Ghostscript can be invoked even if the PATH does not set to Ghostscript. Specify gswin64c.exe in Windows 64-bit version (specify gswin32c.exe with x86 version).
grayscale-compressionauto When the grayscale image format cannot be stored directly in PDF, the image is stored after being transformed into the bit map format that is compatible with PDF. The compression method of the data stored in a PDF file is then specified by one of the following values:
  • auto
  • zlib
  • jpeg
  • jpeg2000
  • keeplzw
  • auto2k
  • keeplzw2k
When auto is selected, the process is automatically done and creates the image data according to the setting of grayscale-jpeg-quality. When keeplzw is specified, if the original image is LZW compressed, it becomes the LZW compression. If not, it becomes the same as auto. Whichever has the smaller compressed size, JPEG or ZLIB, is selected. auto2k and keeplzw2k are equivalent to auto and keeplzw each, except that compression will be done with JPEG 2000 instead of JPEG. However, they are same as auto and keeplzw in case of PDF1.4 or earlier.
See also Image Output to learn about the file formats which can be stored directly in PDF. This is the setting for the grayscale image. Specifies color-compression for the color image, and monochrome-compression for the monochrome image. In GUI, it can be specified by selecting the Compression option. JPEG 2000 is effective only with PDF1.5 or later.

OpenType MATH Feature

OpenType fonts for math expressions may contain MATH features. The MATH feature contains a lot of information for the math expression layout. In Antenna House Formatter V7.4, you can use the various MATH features by setting enableOpenTypeMATH. The feature name keywords that can be specified for enableOpenTypeMATH are as follows:

  • true

    Enable all processing.

  • false

    Disable all processing.

  • scriptsizemultiplier

    When scriptsizemultiplier is not specified, applies

    MathConstants.​ScriptPercentScaleDown

    to scriptlevel=1. Applies

    MathConstants.​ScriptScriptPercentScaleDown

    to scriptlevel=2. Applies

    ScriptScriptPercentScaleDown*​(ScriptScriptPercentScaleDown/​ScriptPercentScaleDown)L

    to scriptlevel=3 or more. (L=scriptlevel-2 here)

  • mathleading

    Applies

    MathConstants.​MathLeading

    to the space between lines when the line break occurs. At this time, mathLeading is ignored.

  • largeopmultiplier

    If MathVariants has a definition for largeop <mo>, adopts that glyph. At that time, if there is a glyph of 

    MathConstants.​DisplayOperatorMinHeight

    or more, adopts the smallest glyph within it, otherwise adopts the largest glyph. At this time, when the following values exceed 1.0, they are ignored:

  • vertstretchy

    If there is a definition in MathVariants for vertically stretching <mo>, that glyph is used. However, the stretching with the combination of multiple glyphs is not supported.

  • italicscorrection

    For characters with ItalicsCorrection defined, the following are ignored:

    Subscript is adjusted to the position considering ItalicsCorrection, superscript is not adjusted. (The script on the left side behaves in the opposite way.)

  • fractiongap

    Adjusts the distance between the fraction rule and the numerator/denominator by <mfrac> using the following:

    MathConstants.​FractionNumeratorGapMin
MathConstants.​FractionNumDisplayStyleGapMin
MathConstants.​FractionDenominatorGapMin
MathConstants.​FractionDenomDisplayStyleGapMin

    At this time, the following are ignored:

  • fractionthickness

    Sets the default thickness of the fraction rule to the value of

    MathConstants.​FractionRuleThickness

    when linethickness in <mfrac> is not specified.

  • upperlowerlimit

    Adjusts the minimum distance between the over/under scripts and the base character by <munder>, <mover> and <munderover> using the following:

    MathConstants.​LowerLimitGapMin
MathConstants.​UpperLimitGapMin

  • radicalgap

    Adjusts the distance between the roof of the radical symbol and the math contents using the following:

    MathConstants.​RadicalVerticalGap
MathConstants.​RadicalDisplayStyleVerticalGap

    At this time rootPosition4y is ignored.

  • radicalthickness

    Applies

    MathConstants.​RadicalRuleThickness

    to the thickness of the radical symbol. This value will be the value of rootThickness4. The values of rootThickness1, rootThickness2 and rootThickness3 are calculated from rootThickness4 according to the ratio of the values specified in the Option Setting File.

Fonts for Math Expression

In order to format the math expression finely, it is necessary to prepare the font for math expression. Some fonts for math expression are introduced here.

STIX Fonts

Antenna House Formatter V7.4 assumes the STIX fonts are used by default. STIX fonts are downloadable from the following:

When using STIX fonts, it is not necessary to specify something to the Option Setting File in particular. However when using other fonts, it is necessary to do a proper setting with <variant-font>.

Cambria Math Fonts

Fonts for Math expression called Cambria Math are enclosed in Windows. In Antenna House Formatter V7.4 Windows versions, when STIX fonts are not installed, these fonts are the default. In order to invalidate STIX fonts and always use these fonts, specify as follows: 

<variant-font fontfamily="'Cambria Math'"/>

BaKoMa Fonts

BaKoMa fonts are often used with TeX. BaKoMa fonts are downloadable from the following:

It is recommended to use ttf or otf from here.
Since these fonts are old, there is no relevance as the font family respectively. If you use all of them, a lot of settings would be required. The following shows an example of changing x y z in STIX fonts in italic into the round shape letter peculiar to the math expression: 

<variant-font mathvariant="italic">
 <font-entry unicode-range="U+0061-007A" fontfamily="cmmi10" mathvariant="normal"/>
</variant-font>
<variant-font mathvariant="bold-italic">
 <font-entry unicode-range="U+0061-007A" fontfamily="cmmib10" mathvariant="normal"/>
</variant-font>

Even if BaKoMa fonts are designed to be italic, the information which shows it does not exist in the font. Therefore, the setting of mathvariant="normal" is needed so that the text is not slanted doubly. The same applies to bold.

CGM Settings

These settings are used for CGM.

ElementAttributeDefaultDescription
<cgm-settings>child of <formatter-config>
issue-unknown-element10Specifies whether a warning message is issued when unknown elements appear. If -1 is specified, issues a warning against all unknown elements, then ignore these elements. If greater than or equal to 1 is specified, issues a warning up to the specified number, then ignores these elements, when it reaches its number, stops evaluating CGM.
issue-unsupported-element1Specifies whether a warning message is issued against unsupported elements. When -1 is specified, issues a warning against all elements. if 0 is specified, a warning message is not issued. If greater than or equal to 1 is specified, issues a warning up to the specified number for each element.
default-line-caproundSpecifies the default value of LINE CAP / EDGE CAP by either of the following (the number on the left can also be specified):
  1. butt
  2. round
  3. square
default-edge-capround
default-line-joinroundSpecifies the default value of LINE JOIN / EDGE JOIN by either of the following (the number on the left can also be specified):
  1. miter
  2. round
  3. bevel
default-edge-joinround
default-mitre-limit-1Specifies the default value of MITRE LIMIT. If a negative value is specified, the limit is not outputted. (It's environment dependent.)
default-restricted-text-typeboxed-capSpecifies the default value of RESTRICTED TEXT TYPE by either of the following (the number on the left can also be specified):
  1. basic
  2. boxed-cap
  3. boxed-all
  4. isotropic-cap
  5. isotropic-all
  6. justified
The default value on ISO specification is basic.
fallback-fontSpecifies the fallback font in case the font settings in CGM is insufficient.
aciSpecifies the file of Application Configurable Items. See also Application Configurable Items.

XSLT Settings

These settings are used for XSLT Processor.

ElementAttributeDefaultDescription
<xslt-settings>child of <formatter-config>
msxmltrueSpecifies whether to use MSXML or not. If true is specified, MSXML is used as an XSLT Processor. Specification of command is disregarded at this time. If false is specified, the external XSLT Processor specified from command will be used, but when nothing is specified from command, it is considered that true is specified and MSXML is used. The version of MSXML actually used can be checked on the XSLT page of the Format Option Setting Dialog. This setting is ignored in non-Windows environment.
msxmlver0Specifies the maximum version of MSXML used internally when msxml="true" is specified. Any version from 6 to 3 can be specified. For example, when 5 is specified, Antenna House Formatter V7.4 searches MSXML in order of MSXML5 → MSXML4 → MSXML3 and adopts the first found MSXML. If nothing is specified or the specified value is incorrect (such as 0), the version will be considered 6. This setting is effective only with Windows versions.
command The command line of the External XSLT Processor is specified here. The command line strings must include at least three identifiers, %1, %2 and %3.
  • %1 : XML document
  • %2 : XSL stylesheet
  • %3 : XSLT Output File
  • %param : Parameter of xsl:param
If nothing is specified, or “@MSXML” is specified, the external processor is not used but the internal processor, MSXML is used. This setting is effective only with Windows versions. It's an initial setting of XSLT Processor with all kinds of interfaces. If nothing is specified in non-Windows environment, XSLT transformation is not performed.
param-optionSpecifies the parameter type of xsl:param given to the external XSLT Processor. The strings must include at least two identifiers, %p and %v. These values are as follows:
  • %p : Value of name of <param>
  • %v : Value of value of <param>
These values affect the part of %param in the command strings. When two or more <param>s are specified, they are divided by the white space and repeated.
<param>child of <xslt-settings>
nameSpecifies the parameter name of xsl:param for XSLT Processor.
valueSpecifies the parameter value of xsl:param for XSLT Processor. When the value includes a white space, since the quotation marks will not be processed, explicitly enclose in quotation marks.
<stylesheet>child of <xslt-settings>
ns Possible to specify the stylesheet applied to a specific XML document. Specifies the name space of the XML document by ns, and specifies the URI of the stylesheet by href. The following shows the example of XHTML and WordML: 
<stylesheet ns=​"http://www.w3.org/​1999/​xhtml" href=​"xhtml2fo.xsl"/>
<stylesheet ns=​"http://schemas.microsoft.com/​office/​word/​2003/​wordml" href=​"[WordMLToFO install directory]/WordMLToFO.xsl"/>
If the XML document has the name space specified here, it can be formatted by itself, without specifying the stylesheet. If the stylesheet is specified when formatting or the stylesheet is specified in the XML document, these are adopted and the setting here will be ignored.
href
<msxml>child of <xslt-settings>
nameSpecifies the property of MSXML when msxml="true" is specified. The property name is specified by name and the value is specified by value. For the moment, only true or false can be specified as value. That is, the property which needs the other value cannot be specified. There are two types of properties available.
  • Properties specified by the setProperty() method like, setProperty("AllowXsltScript", true);.
  • Properties specified by the value directly like, resolveExternals = true;.
name interpreted as the latter one are as follows:
  • preserveWhiteSpace
  • validateOnParse
  • resolveExternals
In any case other than these, the value is set via the setProperty() method. The character string of name is not checked. It is considered that the following are set as default: 
<msxml name="preserveWhiteSpace" value="true"/>
<msxml name="validateOnParse" value="false"/>
<msxml name="resolveExternals" value="true"/>
<msxml name="ServerHTTPRequest" value="true"/>
<msxml name="ProhibitDTD" value="false"/>
<msxml name="AllowDocumentFunction" value="true"/>
<msxml name="AllowXsltScript" value="false"/>
From MSXML6.0, resolveExternals became ResolveExternals (Antenna House Formatter V7.4 accepts both). Also, the default value of this is false when external-entity="false" is specified.
See also MSXML Security Overview. The settings are ignored with non-Windows versions.
value

Suppose XSLT setting is as follows:

<xslt-settings command="xslt -o &#34;%3&#34; &#34;%1&#34; &#34;%2&#34; %param" param-option="%p=%v">
  <param name="foo" value="123"/>
  <param name="bar" value="&#34;Hello, World&#34;"/>
</xslt-settings>

XSLT Processor runs as follows in order to transform file.xml and file.xsl into file.fo:

xslt -o "file.fo" "file.xml" "file.xsl" foo=123 bar="Hello, World"

As described in the example here, the actual file name given to %1 or %2 includes white space, it's necessary to enclose the file name with quotation mark, “&#34;”.

Analyzer Settings no-LT

These settings are used for automated analysis of the Area Tree. These settings are not effective with Antenna House Formatter V7.4 Lite.
