This is another newb question, and please forgive me as I fear it is off topic for this list. (please point me in the right direction)
Quick version: ============== Where and how do I define new element types? (How) Can I import existing ones I like from the ASF? Explanation =========== I am writing technical documentation and need to document Apache HTTPD conf file "directives". Example: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#acceptmutex In the Apache docs (linked above) there is a really nice format for a "directive" which encapsulates the directive in a box and formats the header elements of the directive in bold, etc. I am currently using a "table" to format my directives, and they look like crap. :) Especially when converted to PDF, as the first column of the table takes up 80% of the page width and the second column is right off the page: Example: http://www.sonic.net/dcarwin/images/directive-example.jpg Thus the question is how can I make my directive definitions look like the ASF's? Best I can tell I have to define or import new custom elements, such as <directivesynopsis> which are used in the ASF docs, which are not defined currently in the list of element types I have access to. These new element definitions also have to include instructions to FOP on how to format them when converted to PDF. (right?) Environment notes: ================== I use XML Mind Editor 3.2 to edit the docs. Here is an example of the command I am using to convert into PDF (direct from XML).
