Hi all,
[Arved Sandstrom]
I think you need to ask the question, "why am I trying to put page
breaks
into HTML?" This is not an HTML concept. If MSIE supports this idea
I guess
I would question MSIE.
[Alessandro Bottoni]
I'm not sure, but it seems to me that the CSS2 RFC mentioned something like
page breaks, at least for what they called "paged media" (paper and
screenfuls of multimedia programs like Director, I think). Anyway, I do not
know of any program that actually implements this feature.
[Arved Sandstrom]
Just out of curiosity, how would you expect an HTML browser to
render page
breaks?
[Alessandro Bottoni]
Well, I would be happy to see the FO engine (not the browser) making a new
HTML file for every page break encountered in the source XML file. I would
like this way to create a sequence of (concatenated) HTML files from a
single XML file.
[Arved Sandstrom]
FOP is not tied to PDF. The core processor is renderer-independent.
We are
currently capable of rendering output to PDF, HTML, XML, Java AWT,
and Java
Printing.
[Alessandro Bottoni]
Very, very good! How about Java Swing and RTF?
Just out of curiosity, once I have got a AWT GUI from a XML file, how can I
connect it to my java program? Does the FOP transformation process supply a
set of callbacks, or something like that, for driving this interface?
Respectfully,
