Hi,

to get a little bit in touch with FOP, I started a project for formatting scientific texts with FO. It's just something like a "proof of concept" and there is still a lot of work to do.

Please feel free to send me critics, ideas or whatever.

Interesting. Your manual itself is a nice showcase. :-)

Considering the TODO about color-schema, maybe the cleanest solution would be to use a generic <color> element, to which the authors can then add an attribute, like:

<color color-value="red">Red Text</color>

This can then be transformed with

<xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
  <fo:wrapper color="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </fo:wrapper>
</xsl:template>

Note that this means that authors would also be able to specify a color using the rgb() function, which would be passed to and resolved by FOP. For example: <color color-value="rgb(255, 0, 0)">Red Text</ color>

FOP will warn if an invalid color-specification is used, but the processing will continue and the inherited color will be used, so it does little harm to leave that up to the eventual users of your stylesheet.


Cheers,

Andreas
