[xsl] [ANN] FOP as XSLT extension function

2013-09-13 11:05:31
FYI, the Print and Page Layout Community Group has made available an
extension function for running FOP mid-XSLT-transformation to produce an
area tree so you can make decisions based on the formatted size of areas.

FOPRunXSLTExt is an (early) experiment in getting the area tree from an
XSL formatter run as the result of calling an XSLT extension function in
the same XSLT transform as will produce the "final" FO tree to be output
for formatting as human readable pages.

It was initially developed by Arved Sandstrom of MagicLamp Software
following discussion on the public-ppl(_at_)w3(_dot_)org mailing list. Further
development now happens in the 'ppl' Mercurial repository at
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/ppl, with questions and comments happening on the
public-ppl(_at_)w3(_dot_)org mailing list.

FOPRunXSLTExt is written in Java and uses the Apache FOP XSL formatter to
produce the area trees.
