If the FOP-based build works better than Jade, by all means let's use
that. Last time I looked at FOP (years ago, admittedly), it broke at
about page 10. Obviously, Guillaume and company are getting better
results now.
We are getting better results in quality. Speed is quite different :
really quick to build a PDF, really slow to build HTML files.
What I would like to know, however, is whether FOP runs on a Free(tm)
Java implementation. It seems that you need Sun's JDK to run it and
that will be a problem if it's to become our primary build method.
I use Sun's JDK. I didn't try something else... I'm gonna try.
