The Apache XML Graphics team is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of Apache FOP Version 2.0 [1].
Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) [2] is an output independent print
formatter driven by XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) [3]. FOP is a Java
application that reads a formatting object tree and renders the resulting pages
to a specified output format, of which a variety of formats are supported.
