greetings,
johannes.

I'd thought there was some sort of 'extension' to FOP which did this (a la TiffRenderer[1]). Unfortunately, I was wrong. The resource I'd seen actually converts RTF into XSL-FO[2]. The FOP web site does have info on FOP Output Target=RTF [3], but unfortunately, it's a dead end:


"RTF

This is currently not integrated with FOP but it will soon. This will create an rtf (rich text format) document that will attempt to contain as much information from the fo document as possible."

If any of the fop-devs knows more about getting FOP to output to RTF, it would be great to update the web site to make the above actually contain useful information. I checked CVS for the FOP Output Target page (from whence the above quote was taken), but couldn't find any information on the subject. The RTF-related info appears to have either been entered into the FOP Output Targets page before it was brought into CVS, or it wasn't well-documented.

Looking forward to resolving this so the web site can be udpated.
