This is becoming FAQ material.
To my great surprise, the various (x)html2fo tools are neither in
the FAQ nor in the additional ressources list.


I'll look into adding something.


Related questions:
- Where do I edit the FAQ's xdoc source: HEAD or maintenance branch?


xml-fop/src/documentation/content/xdocs/faq.xml

the HEAD branch is what is used to build the site.


- Why is the FAQ TOC gone? This makes it difficult use direct links
  to individual FAQ entries in mails. Should I open a forrest
  requirement for a TOC per section, preferably in a customizable way?


Forrest has the ability to generate one... but there's some problem on 
the FOP site. All other pages generate one except the FAQ page. Our 
page has exactly the same structure as the Forrest FAQ, as does our 
skinconf.xml. Unfortunately, it works for them, but not us.


I asked on the forrest user list, and received an answer which 
unfortunately didn't help much. I'd since forgotten about it. I'll see 
if I can come up with a solution.



- What's the current publishing process? Wasn't there a Wiki
  page about this?
- What about moving the FAQ to the Wiki, or establishing a supplement
  FAQ in the Wiki? (same for additional ressources)


That'd be a good idea. That would certainly make it easier for 
fop-committers to edit those pages. It could still live in our sidebar 
as well.



Bonus points: Is there anybody out there willing to work on canonical
non-rude FAQ answers? (See
 http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/FogBugzII.html
section snippets)
I've already installed Thunderbird QuickText (great stuff...).

That sounds like a great tool and suggestion...

It is on the web site, under the Development tab, Deploy/Doc Mgmt menu:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/dev/doc.html
It may have started as a Wiki -- I don't remember. I don't know whether it
is up-to-date or not.
