Dear All, I like the idea of FOP, i.e. open-source implementation of XSL-FO processor, but I have to admit it is still not mature enough for my projects.
A) For automated production of product documentation I miss mainly: 1. support for change bars (used in the review cycle phase) - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-1760 2. enhanced index generating (at least merging same pages into a single item) B) For my hobby projects I require high quality typography so I miss: 1. support for microtypography (protrusion, expansion) 2. support for ligatures for non-english environments https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2093 3. ability to typeset on grid While (A) is now handled by commercial XSL-FO product, for (B) I switched to TeX based solution (ConTeXt). None of these is ideal and I still believe one day FOP will replace them in my workflow. But I am rather sad from recent (in)activity. Is there any rough roadmap for next development? Btw, in the light of new approaches I am curious what is the future of XSL-FO technology in general: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/201312/msg00019.html I hope FOP is not a next candidate for the abandonware list...
