hmmmm.... I could not even get a box with fill:none to render with FOP just a day or two ago (it renders with the adobe plugin). It seems SVG in FOP has a ways to go. I am kind of glad they are focusing on other stuff. Flash (though I have grown to hate it...) is much better and is here today. Yes it is owned by MACR, but the file format is open like PDF. Have you seen http://www.saxess.com/wave/ It uses XSL and XML (and java) to generate a shockwave flash file. Does anybody know of an Open Source effort like this? (that uses XSL) I have written some Flash riding on XML. The flash interface cramps up my hands from all the clicking. I would welcome a way to transform to a SWF. best, -Rob > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Wendell Piez > Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 3:57 PM > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: [xsl] XML + XSLT = SVG using FOP example needed... > > > SVG is merely one of several output formats that FOP supports.
