Except that’s how XSL works, and what FOP implements. FOP takes exactly[*] 1 kind of input: the FO markup in XML defined by the XSL Recommendations. Nearly all FOP users, as well as users of other XSL formatters, transform their source either with XSLT or some other tool into FO for presentation to the formatter. If FOP supports MediaWiki syntax natively, why not MoinMoin or some other wiki? Why not HTML, DocBook, DITA, CALS, ...? ~Chris [*] approximately -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know / What I was walling in or out, / And to whom I was like to give offence.” — RF, Mending Wall GnuPG Fingerprint: C6E4 E2A9 C9F8 71AC 9724 CAA3 19F8 6677 0077 C319 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
