This is needed to make sure new releases don't break existing features, but IMHO doesn't make it easy for end users to find out exactly how FOP interprets specific features. Again, I think what would help end-users a lot (and also have good tutorial value) would be small self-describing XSL-FO documents where one can check the results by reading the PDF, along with an "official" list of which samples work and which don't. Nice and well, but I don't think anyone on the FOP team currently has time to fully set this up (but I'd be happy to be proven wrong!). There are quite a lot of FOP samples already (http://xml.apache.org/fop/examples.html), some more useful than others, so maybe it's just a case of sorting through the samples, classifying them and making them easily accessible, ideally using a live Internet-accessible FOP setup. In the meantime, I'd encourage users that find a bug or problem to send to this list the smallest possible XSL-FO document that demonstrates the problem. We could start collecting these in the hope of setting up a user-friendly demo/test suite when someone finds time to do it. - Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
