Title: RE: Book on FOP

Sorry, I was obviously reffering to bug fixes, rather than implying a growing number of bugs. Such a statement would be very unfair to the hard working contributors to FOP.   -----Original Message----- From: Steve Pitchford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 February 2003 17:20 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Book on FOP   I’ve always found, especially with open source projects in the stage that fop is at ( young and developing rapidly )that static material dedicated to the subject is counter productive. Bugs and features get added so often that the publication rapidly becomes out of date.   I have found that for me, the best approach is to buy a book describing and introducing the standards, and then use the website ( which in FOP’s case has some rather good docs ), and a mailing list in order to keep up to date. If you want to go this way, Oreilly has a good one called xsl-fo   Steve     This message is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

So I am looking for a book which will give me a good overview and then get into the details if needed regardinf FOP and XSL FO.
