Seeing as how FOP 1.0 isn't expected before decemeber, FOP 2.0 is too far off to make any plans. Core committers are more focussed on tables and such right now, but some of the past patch contributors were interested in seeing it happen, so I can't say. -Steve -Original Message- From:

FOP CVS requires all kinds of jars in the classpath you don't have like xalan, xerces, avalon-framework, logkit, (Are jimi, batik and the rest optional?), etc. For the rest, you may need to ask on an XSQL mailing list. If there is not a FOP serializer such as your example refers to, then you'll

When debugging, it's a good idea to run any XSL:T seperate from processing the result XSL:FO so you can figure out which part is messing up if there are problems. If you see xsl:* tags in in your FO, you've got a problem in your XSL:T. While FOP can be asked to convert XSL:T to XSL:FO and then
