Hello, I have discovered Apache FOP intermediate format features just now. It looks like this could solve my problem with custom element based on <fo:page-number/> sent to conference of Friday, because intermediate format is already "page defined" and editable format, so I guess, I can easily count preceding-sibling to get absolute page position of current page and change some value within intermediate format. Am I right?
I guess, that I should be aware to do changes just withing box model of changed element - to ensure not to overflow its box, am I right? Another ask - after reading documentation, command-line hints etc. I am able to generate just only AreaTreeFormat, not the new IntermediateFormat. Could You be so kind and write m two commands: how to generate IF for ODF output and how to generate PDF from IF? The last ask - is IntermediateFormat and (or) AreaTreeFormat production ready now or will be in the near future? Can I rely on it in production environment? Thank You.
