First steps into XSL:FO
Posted by mholmes on 14 Mar 2013 in Activity log
I've started work on the XSL:FO/PDF generation code, working with some test files for which I've auto-generated the orthographies. I have a basic layout done, for letter-sized paper, and a parameter system built in which enables me to add other paper sizes later. I'm working with FOP, because if we can get what we want with it (and it's looking good so far -- columns work) then we can deploy anywhere. The biggest hurdle right now (after reminding myself of how page-masters and sequences work) is getting the Unicode characters to display correctly. That's next on my list.
