Is there some recent information on using XML, and specifically XSL-FO, with ConTeXt? The pages on the contextgarden wiki appear to be 5 years old or more, and even the archive of this list seem pretty sparse on recent information.
I'm trying to find the most direct route from XSL-FO to PS or PDF. I'll be generating hundreds or thousands of XSL-FO documents, and would like to process them.
there was never much interest in FO and usually such code only gets better when it's used; I have it on my todo list to rewrite the mkii specific FO processing code in mkiv as it can be done more efficient etc etc but there is not that much incentive ... in projects that I'm involved in we normally go directly from xml to pdf simply because it's faster, gives better results and takes less coding than going the fo-route; and as FO is not that much fun, I'd either need a project or see it as a challenge (btw, it's not that big a deal to rewrite the mkii code to mkiv) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
