Re: Sample FO Documents

Hi Eliot,

I presume there is a large number of large and complicated samples that
would be a bit too much.

They could be placed in bugzilla if not appropriate for cvs.
We could then grab them and use when suitable.

The idea of course is to work through and fix the limitations in FOP.

Keiron.

 technical manuals and as samples in service of a new FO course we're 
 developing. The downside for FOP is that these examples were developed 
 initially using XSL Formatter, which is the most feature complete 
 implementation. That means that the samples and demos have not been 
 tailored to work w/in FOP's current limitations.
 
 Cheers,

If no one else has the time then I will take these and try to incorporate 
them into a subdirectory of docs/examples
I am not a committer - but supposedly look after the FAQ

http://www.OWAL.co.uk/cgi-bin/fopfaq.cgi

(I don't personally have lots of time as I am doing publicity for myself in 
London looking for XML publishing work - but this sounds so important to 
help with the uptake of FOP that I'll make the time).

I don't really want to change the samples if they use XSL:FO features not 
implemented by FOP, but I may move them into a separate not yet 
implemented directory.

Are the XSL:FO files self documenting? do they say in the generated pdf 
what should appear?

I believe the best place is ISOGEN site itself (afair you said there is a plan 
to make them publicly accessible there). Having such samples is extremely 
important, but as we all understand FOP is just not ready for them yet.

Oleg, Eliot,

I think this is probably a good idea.
