Why, did you start on one already ?
No, just curiosity and I though about mentioning that if you start
one, it would be probably good to make it a generic document
manipulation framework, just like we already have:
fcl-image for raster images
fpvectorial for vectorial images
fpspreadsheet for spreadsheets
I suppose that the problem that you need solved would fit into
something like a document generation, which would be then possibly a
fpdocument framework =)
I see PDF support more as a fcl-image subtype; just an additional canvas,
like the PS canvas.
What you mention here is a more high-level layouting engine. But that
is what LaTeX or DocBook does; I don't want to repeat that.
I do have the start of a reporting engine; However, I recently had a look at
JasperReports, and want to rework what I have to use their XML format as a
start.
