Currently, the PDF export of XWiki is implemented based on XSL-FO and transformation of XHTML to FO. This poses a couple of problems, mainly related to the current level of support of FO from libraries implementing FO to PDF transformation, as well as the limitations of automatized transformation of XHTML to FO. The problems are mainly related to styling limitations, auto-layouting, etc.
The idea is to try to replace this with a pure XHTML & CSS (paged CSS) export, using an open source library for producing PDFs out of this , and I will see LaTeX , thanks 2018-03-24 19:52 GMT+02:00 Vincent Massol <[email protected]>: > Hi Mohamed, > > > On 24 Mar 2018, at 18:44, Mohamed Ashraf <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > If we should replacing the XSL-FO which we use to export PDF file out of > > XML, > > with XML and CSS only with open-source library , > > > > and I think * ”CSS Paged Media “ * > > > > is this good enough to do that , > > or there are any suggestion > > Sorry but I don’t understand your question.
