History and Future

I think we need such a section. (By the way, are there any official information about the future of XSL FO? Thanx!) --LinuxEdit0r (talk) 05:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Element Reference

Can we create a list of XSL-FO elements and attributes on Wikipedia (such as at XSF-FO/1.0/Element_Reference or something similar), with syntax, explaination, examples, problems, tips & compatibility? I'd be willing to start compiling this, but I do not know if that would be an incorrect use of Wikipedia. I think it would be good to have a list at an easiy-accessible place like this, with users experiences of problems as well. --MBread 19:54, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't guess that this would be a good use of Wikipedia. That's more for an XSL-FO dedicated Wiki. This article should explain in rather broad terms what XSL-FO is. Korval 02:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a list of XSL-FO elements could be part of a section about the topic in WikiBooks. -- Jimj wpg 18:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

XSL-FO basics: comparison with HTML/CSS

I'm about to remove the sentence

As such, a person wanting to generate a printed document only has to select the FO processor that fulfills their needs, usually in the realm of layout quality and reduction of unnecessary whitespace, rather than having to test their XSL-FO document on multiple processors.

since it seems self-evident that if one wants to print something then one needn't test multiple processors, except to the extent that that doing so is involved in selecting an FO processor that fulfills one's needs.

I will replace it with a sentence saying that distributing the final pdf rather than the formatting language input (whether HTML/CSS or XSL-FO) means on the one hand that users aren't affected by differences among formatting language interpreters, while on the other hand means that the document cannot easily adapt to different users' needs (different page size or preferred font size, tailoring for on-screen versus on-paper versus audio presentation).
