When will there be a new version of FO ?

Well, the title says it all. I'm more particularly interested in margin notes, line numbering and better control of footnotes. P. Andries - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROT

Why used FOP instead of...

I would like to know why FOP enthousiast (I am one) are using FO rather than products such as Crystal Reports or other such software (anyone Jetfoms ?). Just for the fun of playing with new technology ? Thanks for any hints (in private since this is off-topic) Patrick Andries

background-image and uri

Are background-images implemented in Fop 0.20.3 ? I get a message telling me no such function as url but no message telling me background-image not implemented... How can I specify the uri of the image otherwise ?

2 coliumns * 4 columns table

I need to implement tables that seem to me to be difficult (or impossible) to render with XSL FO. The difficulty involves a table made of two columns (left/right) themselves divided into 4 further columns (a,b,c,d). The content should flows from the left four columns (a,b,c,d) on a page to the

Yes good idea. J.Pietschmann wrote: Patrick Andries wrote: I'm not sure that declaring 2 columns in the region-body can help me on the first page, since it is preceded by single-column text (of arbitrary length) before the table split into 2 * 4 columns appears. You can put the text in a

Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tools propose

Before convincing people to use specifically, FOP I would like to convince people that FO is a superior model than traditional model of proprietary solutions (3B2, Compuset) for documents that both FOP and those traditional tools can produce. In other words, is FO a good strategic directions. S

Re: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tools propose

Thank you for all these good ideas. Would anyone happen to know of an industry analyst study on the advantages of XSL FO ? This is to lend some credibility to my recommendation.

What is the status of the orphan and widow control? If this is not yet implemented, have we got any timeline? How complex could it be to implement for a seasoned developer (in man days)? When is the next release of FOP scheduled? Thanks Patrick

Marketing material : conving your manager

We spoke earlier on this list of needing marketing material to convince managers about the virtues of XSLFO. I have found this description of a Gartner Note which is positive (I may not disclose content). Cost of full note $95. http://www3.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?id=348967&acsFlg=accessCan
