Re: FO to RTF (new jfor license)
Hello, On Friday 26 July 2002 10:20, Mulet, Jordi wrote: . . . We have started to experiment with jfor (FO-RTF) and we don't know the best path to follow and if there are plans to integrate jfor in FOP as a RTF renderer. . . . Note that the jfor license was recently changed to allow it to an ASF-compatible one, see www.jfor.org for more info. This allows jfor to be distributed with ASF projects. This means that the RTF library part of jfor can be used in binary form as a back-end for FOP (StructureHandler) to generate RTF, without having to maintain two RTF libraries (which would be the case if the jfor RTF code was moved to the FOP codebase). I think this will ease the transition from jfor to FOP for RTF generation, until FOP 1.x is released. -- Bertrand Delacrétaz (codeconsult.ch, jfor.org) buzzwords: XML, java, XSLT, cocoon, mentoring/teaching/coding. disclaimer: eternity is very long. mostly towards the end. get ready. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FO to RTF
RTF is the format of yesterday: better generate MicroSoft Office XML or Open Office XML. I agree. I very much dislike RTF as a markup language. It is cumbersome, limited, verbose, awkward and terribly outdated. But RTF is a widely used standard, whose format is recognized by many lagacy programs. So the trend towards XSL:FO becomes much easier if it can be converted to be displayed to whichever format is most convenient. For many users that is RTF. In the future when/if Microsoft XML becomes standard we can focus on that target. ~Chris Scott P.S. I can't even work with Microsoft XML yet, we are still using office 97 and it works just fine. Is there a compelling reason to upgrade? Is microsoft XML an open standard? - Original Message - From: J.U.

Document formats controlling pagination - examples: WordPad, XSL:FO 3.

I don't know if it will help or not.

The part you may be interested in is:
while((buf = fgetc(inFile)) != EOF){
x = (buf 0xF0) 4;
y = (buf 0x0F);
x = ((x 10) ? (x + 48) : (x + 87));
os() x;
y = ((y 10) ? (y + 48) : (y + 87));
os() y;
if(!(ii++ % 78)){os() \r\n;}
}
you have to convert the binary image to 7bit
