Conclusion
In this article, we have discussed FOP and
XSL-FO. Hopefully this new program will make our jobs easier as developers.
There is definitely more facets to FOP, these are just the basics, but learning step-by-
step is a great way to start.
Next month we will get more in depth, for example, by producing
some SVG documents and testing the
print capabilities of FOP.
Stay Tuned and Happy Coding!
