fop dtd attached

A couple of people have written in recently asking for an FOP dtd. I'm guessing so they can use it with PSGML. So, I made one using the standard document as well as I could read it. I tried to include lists of valid values for things like so, if you want to use it as a real validating document

I've attached an XSLT stylesheet that we use to create a PDF version of a clinical trial participant's lab report. It uses some fairly complicated presentation logic that by necessity needs take place in the last stage of processing. The FO output that it produces is also somewhat involved, making

Hi Roland, We had the very same prob cause the xsl that translate from our XML content to FO went quite messy as we made all modifications needed to paper export (we're usually building 50->200 pages in our pdfs, with many pictures, tables cause it's made of courses contents). So we made some kin

Yes. I looked a bit at the renderers in the main branch and it looks like they have been gutted. Seeing this I am a bit concerned that it may be longer than I thought before the redesigned FOP is functional. But I did not look at very many things, so maybe it is what I happened to look at. I also

Everything on fonts is on the following page: http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html Sometimes the metric files need some tweaking, especially for Type 1 fonts, but that requires reading into the font specs. I'm still quite sure you're making yourself a hard time with little profit. Good luck. >
