Originally I was thinking of moving to a specific DTD such as DocBook, but there were just too many objects in DocBook. I didn't have the time. Then I thought it would be nice to build a PDF output module for JDOM... It's a pity I ended up making an iText DTD (that hasn't been updated in a long time). > Basically, I'd like to add support for things such as "import" (bring > in a page from an existing document) and some simple vector graphics > commands. Isn't there an XML DTD for Vector Graphics? Maybe it would be possible to do what others have done with Graphics2D? As for importing a page from an existing document. I would use processing instructions for that ( <? ?> ) instead of tags. > Any thoughts on how best to accomplish this - or am I just better off > forgetting about the current XML parsing/handling architecture and > just doing my own XML handlers sitting directly on top of iText?!? I want to work on that if I don't have to do it on my own... I may have some time in August. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
