Not to downplay FOP, but I think the current MIF rendering suffers from the same problems we encountered when trying to implement an RTF renderer: the current FOP rendering system is well suited for "print" rendering (i.e. PDF) but not for "structure" rendering (which MIF is to a large extent: describing sections, paragraphs etc. but not necessarily their detailed layout). So I'm skeptical about how far you can go with the current MIF renderer. We're currently working (slowly) on integrating the jfor RTF converter (which is also mostly structure based) into FOP, and hopefully this will pave the way for better structure-based renderers. -- Bertrand Delacrétaz (codeconsult.ch, jfor.org) buzzwords: XML, java, XSLT, cocoon, mentoring/teaching/coding. disclaimer: eternity is very long. mostly towards the end. get ready.
