Hi Vincent, thank you for your answer. I think it might be good for FOP to support this feature, even if it is later in this year. If you want to implement some business documents, table-markers are really necessary. I contacted Andreas Delmelle before and he told me that he could help out with some design ideas, but he is also not available to implement this feature.
We probably need this feature in the next weeks, since we will go live and as far as I see, our invoices need the feature. But anyway, I have to discuss that with my colleagues. I'll keep you posted. Again, thanks again for your answer. Best Regards, Thomas On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 9:14 AM, Vincent Hennebert <vhenneb...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > Thanks for your interest in FOP.
