No, please don't. One of the reasons that some components are rather dated is that it took us quite some time to get everything working the way we wanted. New versions of the stylesheets, but especially new versions of Apache FOP, have often introduced incompatibilities. Is there a special reason that you want to upgrade? Does the new version offer a feature you need, or fix a bug you suffer from? If yes, we can consider it, but we must make sure that the new version builds *all* our manuals (including the Release Notes) correctly in PDF, multi-page HTML and single-page HTML. What exactly are the rendering issues you encountered? Cheers, Paul Vinkenoog ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
