Both would be nice, as would xsl:fo - but you already commented about your desire to not compete with FOP...

Don't let my desires get in the way of new enhancements ;-) If someone writes an XSL:FO part for iText, I will add it to the library (the mails with the Apache people I was talking about, date from years ago).

Some additional ideas:

About the processing instructions:
I overlooked that possibility when I wrote some XML2PDF applications.
I have to make reports with some text and some tables from a database.
I don't know in advance the amount of rows in a table. So I have to parse
my XML twice: the first time to replace some <tabledata />-tag in my
original XML with actual table data. I could have worked with a processing
instruction containing an SQL statement instead of a <tabledata /> tag.

I've also had troubles with the limitation of the DocListener.
Maybe we can deprecate those classes and start anew with your ideas.
As for SVG, I will have to study it. I don't think it will be difficult,
but it will probably be a lot of work.

Another nice feature would be the possibility to parse a CSS into
a TagMap object. Tagmap would not only map tags, but also class
attributes... Don't know about the feasibility, but I will take a look
at it soon (somebody pointed out to me that there are existing API's
to parse CSS).

Bruno
