Hi, Luke, If I gather correctly, the fellow with the problem is looking for a way to customize the output of the [INFO] tags or (more precisely, I think) generate his own [INFO] tags. He's processing a large number of tables, which is going very slowly (tables being FOP's slow spot, after all) and he wants to know how far through the generation process FOP has gotten. If he had a way to spit out an [INFO] that told him how many tables had been processed so far (and thus number the tables), he could tell how far along the process is. He'd like to do that on the console (standard error, the screen, the command line, or whatever other not-quite-right synonym people use), so that he can see the progress as it goes.

I'm not sure I totally understand, but if it is in the realm of Java I have found log4j to be very useful for outputting messages. It can be configured to output data for specific classes to the console, to files (html, xml, txt) or to a DB.
