Re: New FOP release?
Sadly this is the reason the project I was with dumped FOP in favor of a proprietary pdf output solution, one that is sadly very inferior to FOP in capibilities and standards (no its not renderx but an other reporting package that has PDF output. I had another phone call with a major governmental institution. They would love to go the FO way if its future was not so blurred, we would even contribute to some code (I need line numbering in) and fix bugs. If only we has some visibility. Currently, my choice is RenderX (but this institution does not like getting locked into a small company) and a traditional proprietary solution (e.g. 3B2, Compuset). I would love to be able to tell them : in 6 months time the redesign will be finished, windows/orphan, keep-with-next and, I don't know, landscaped block-containers will be working. P.

Re: New FOP release?
I have asked the question more than once in the past. No one on this list seems to know anything about the development / rewrite of fop. I wish you luck with your search but I doubt you will find an answer on this list.

Re: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tools propose
From: Patrick Andries [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tools propose 2) I understand that everything related with XML (XSLT/XSL-FO) has a modern flavour that few techies can resist, but what are the objectives reasons ? 3) Are they any advantages to FO being integrated with XSLT that the proprietary tools would not have ? Consider that once you data is in XML you can use that same data to produce PDF, HTML VoiceML (for you automated telephone system) or SVG graphical representation of the data by just changing the stylesheet using XSLT.

Refactoring / Rewriting of FOP? Obsolete?
Hi, My manager just nixed the use of FOP in our project for the following reason. a) Its only up to 0.20.3 meaning an early beta. b) He is under the understanding partly based on what he saw on the FOP site that the code is being rewritten from scratch and he therefore does not want to have us tied to an obsolete product. My question is a) How true is this? b) How can I convince him that it is worthwhile to use it. The product did work nicely in our testing by the way.
