FOA is the first XSL-FO specific authoring tool, it helps you with pagination, page sequences and creates the transformation elements to convert multiple XML content files into XSL-FO. Without writing any bits of XSL-T or FO, FOA will generate an XSL stylesheet that takes the content from multiple XML files and apply the style from multiple Attribute Set files accordingly to the transformation elements that you have defined (Bricks). This first version allows you to generate: * Pagination page (size and margins) header, footer, left side, right side (size, margins, borders, backgrounds, paddings, orientation) body ( size, multicolumn, margins, borders, backgrounds, paddings, orientation) * Page Sequences simple, repeated (with first and/or last), alternating (with first and/or last * Bricks (transformation units) blocks, inline sequences, external images, external links, internal links (requires ID) lists (ordered, unordered, label and body, item+label+body * FO Properties common font properties common color properties common border, padding and background properties most important specific properties (keeps, breaks, spacing and alignment) FOA is compatible with the XSL file generated by WH2FO (only 0.1.9 !!) and also is able to open the Attribute sets generated with WH2FO. FOA is available at : http://www-uk.hpl.hp.com/people/fabgia/foa/foa.html There are some examples and a tutorial (http://www-uk.hpl.hp.com/people/fabgia/foa/tutorial/FOATutorial_files/frame .htm) to better understand how does it works. Thank you, Fabio.
