I'm not one of the developers. Instead, I'm a user who takes the time to answer user-level questions (unless someone beats me to it). I also produced a sample for FOP, which I'll update when the new effort settles down (probably when it comes out of beta). Jay Bryant Bryant Communication Services

It's so nice to be in the 'in' crowd! ;-) May you enjoy your time here so much you stay here until FOP-2.0 is released! Same here! Nice to see another Belgian entering the ring... :) Cheers, Andreas

Re: A newcomer
Hi Pierre-Henri Welcome! If you take on page-number-citation-last, that's fine with me. It's a very good addition to the page-position="last" feature I managed to implement this week. The SVGRenderer is actually about the SVG rendering backend (producing SVG), not anything about external-graphic (consuming SVG). The SVGRenderer can be implemented in two different ways: 1. As it currently is, i.e. the Renderer implementation directly creates the necessary SVG elements. 2. Using Batik's SVGGraphics2D (see [1]) The second way much less work because you can mostly reuse existing components like the Java2DRenderer (which knows how to render to a Graphics2D instance like SVGGraphics2D provides it. The existing SVGRenderer is in the src/sandbox directory where it will remain until it's usable again. The only complication I can imagine is about handling the slide feature, i.e. putting multiple pages into one SVG file, since by default, SVG only supports one page. Using the guidelines from SVG Print [2] could also be an option. If you need any help or guidance, just ask.
