Bertrand,
I just noticed that you are heading to Australia, including Brisbane. 
Please get in touch when you are here. 0402 991 747 is my mobile number. 
 If possible, let me know when you are arriving.

FOP web site: dev/svg.html question

2004-06-28 Thread Clay Leeds
On the DEV = SVG page[1], are there supposed to be links to the PNG 
versions of the graphics listed?

On a related note (which I think I'll be asking on Forrest list), I'm 
getting Forrest build errors in this general vicinity. The errors 
indicate problems with missing XML files (which don't exist). However, 
the PDFs are actually *supposed* to be generated from SVG=PDF instead 
of XML=PDF.

Documentation finished

2004-06-28 Thread Simon Pepping
Hi,

I finished my documentation of the FOP architecture and code. Well,
more or less; this is version 0.9. Maybe I'll add a short introduction
or some such. See http://www.leverkruid.nl/FOP/index.html.

How can this be contributed to the FOP website? The documentation
consists of a number of Docbook 4.2 XML files. Could this be part of
the wiki? Or could it be in CVS?

Regards, Simon

Looks pretty good. As you indicated, there are a few areas to be 
improved (e.g., 'TO BE IMPROVED and 'no data' sections), and some 
issues with formatting (I think they're related to the 
text-align='justify' setting--perhaps the document would read better 
with default (i.e., 'left') justification?), but by and large this 
looks like it will be a valuable addition to the FOP arsenal! One other 
addition I'd like to see is that the fo:region-before include the 
Chapter '#' in addition to the Title.

I would think this owuld be of interest to some of the more advanced 
fop-users (particularly those interested in customizing via Java and/or 
embedding). As such, perhaps there might be a place for its inclusion 
in a Docs tab or something?

Regards, Simon

FOP site update

2004-06-28 Thread Clay Leeds
FYI, I've also included the 'new' FOP logo on my personal space[1] 
(forgive the choppy/halo'd edges--an artifact of a 'transparent' white 
background on the GIF with a blue background on the page... It will be 
fixed!).

BTW, I wouldn't mind changing the 'skin' for the web site to something 
more appealing ([2] comes to mind...). Other examples can be found 
here[3]. Comments are welcome!

Re: Documentation finished

Great, this makes for an excellent system design
document that we can refine over time.  I'm also happy
you have it done in Docbook.  We're doing it right the
first time that way.

I'd like to see it incorporated, in Docbook format, on
our site.  Tapestry has already managed Forrest and
Docbook together
(http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/doc.html).

Before doing so, it would probably be good if you
could look at our System design pages
(http://xml.apache.org/fop/design/index.html), if you
haven't already, and add to your document anything
from them that is still relevant and useful but
missing from your document.

That way, when we add your document to our website, we
can rid of the system design pages.  (Most of them are
obsolete with the changing architecture anyway.)  That
way, we will just have one official Docbook-based
document to maintain.

Thanks,
Glen

While you're at it, along with the skin change, you
may wish to switch our logo to the one at the top of

Way ahead of you[1]! (I'm using the version re-created by Victor--and 
'improved' by me a little. I/we never got a vector-based version of 
that one, even though I like the 'mirrors' version you linked to 
better. We need a vector-based version so we can have 
resolution-independence).

Great minds think alike!
