Re: no visual tool for FOP?
XML spy crashes every time I try to use fop with it. When in doubt use the command line. I downloaded the visual tools for fo and found them royally confusing. What I expected was a interface to setup a page like in FrameMaker et al that would generate an XSLT/FO Style Sheet with the ability to play around with the source. So far I have not found a tool that does everything...

Re: no visual tool for FOP?
Hello I've developed a tool html2fo for conversion of .html files to .fo. http://html2fo.sourceforge.net A similar tool is WH2FO at http://www-uk.hpl.hp.com/people/fabgia/wh2fo/wh2fo.html WH2FO is optimized for Word 2000 html files - html2fo is more general. Enrico Am Freitag, 16. November 2001 21:45 schrieben Sie: XMLSpy 4.1 has FO transformation built in as an option under the XSL menu. All you have to do is point it to FOP.bat. I guess you could call this a visual tool. But I'm going to guess that what the original poster is looking for is some kind of a WYSIWIG PDF editor that manipulates the underlying FO? That would be a pretty intense project. Do you think Adobe will ever implement a built-in fop processor? The Acrobat plug-in could come to life any time the browser comes across a .fo file, just like it does now when it sees a .pdf. Any pages that require precise coloring, layout, pagination, etc. would be candidates for conversion from html to fo. Definitely some interesting possibilities here. I suppose people could be doing the same thing now if they have Exchange, but when you can make little changes through a text editor it's a lot more convenient. You'd think they'd be all for it since it could drastically increase PDF viewing on the web. Although I guess it could cut into sales of their full-version Acrobat (what used to be called Exchange). So what part of it would they sell? Hmmm. Can even they do this within the licensing rules of this project? -Matt -Original Message- From: Charles Palmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 1:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: no visual tool for FOP?

Question about colour
I have some questions about the handling of colour which I will ask of the list generally, although I noticed Tore's recent colour related contributions, so he may be the one to enlighten me. Color (to use the official spelling) is one of those areas of the spec whose precise description is deferred to other documents, so I am hoping someone on the list has done all of the hard work. In .../datatypes/ColorType.java the ColorType is defined as a set of floating point numbers: red, green, blue and alpha. From the code, it is apparent that the RGB components are in the range 0 to 1.0. Is this also true of alpha? Why this particular representation? Is it mandated in the sRGB document, or is it the representation used by PDF? What is a color profile? In the recently updated (by Tore) ColorSpace.java, it is represented as a byte array. What is the function of this byte array? What is the relationship between the the linear RGB space and sRGB, which, from my glance at the document, seems to involve a color profile, and between the sRGB and the ICC color profiles? All information will be gratefully received. Peter -- Peter B.

RE: no visual tool for FOP?
If you edit text in a structured way, i.e. using soft formattings instead of hard ones, you can use any tool as a structured editor - for flat structures, because e.g. both Word and StarOFfice can apply soft formats (styles) only sequentially. You can have some algorithm to bring a deeper structure into the data material afterwards by using context information for processing it. But then you'll have certain problems to get the data back into Word, if required. However, under certain circumstances, which may be today's requirements of any percentage between 30 and 90% of companies, the workflows is the (a) cheapest (b) most easily accepted (c) quickest. We use a Word2XML converter that strips Word data from anything that is format information. Styles are mapped to tags, and format information is added later with FO. It's likely that people like you and I work with XMLSpy, but I want to see that book author or machine engineer who is going into the trouble of abandoning his or her beloved Word environment. At least this is today's situation in my country. I don't know, how people will be used to work tomorrow, or are used to work already in other countries. Matthias Dott.
