Subject: XSL FO competition From: Chris Lilley <chris@xxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Dec 1998 21:37:31 +0100 |
I am interested in seeing an XSL formatter. Given an XSL formatting specification (ie an XML document to which an XSL stylesheet has been applied, to generate FOs (not HTML) and the result externalised as another XML document instance), a program which produces a rendered view of the document. So, to make this a bit more interesting - lets have a competition. On release of the next XSL working draft, the competition starts. Entries should come complete with source code and be freely usable by others. Entries should take an XSL FO tree (either read in as an xml document or, if wished, by implementing the XSL transformation part and reading in the source XML document and the XSL stylesheet). Entries should output a rendered view of the document, in accordance with the intent of the XSL stylesheet. With demonstrably better rendering than CSS2 can produce, the object being to demonstrate that XSL is more powerful *as a style sheet language*. For example, implementing mixed vertical and horizontal writing systems. First past the post wins; if there are no entries that meet the criteria one year after the start of the competition, no-one wins (literally). Prize is a copy of Cliff, Stafford "The Best in Cutting Edge Typography". Hardback, 224 pages, profusely illustrated in color. One previous owner (me). As new. -- Chris Lilley Chair, W3C CSS working group Chair, W3C SVG working group contributor, W3C common formatting model contributor, W3C XSL working group XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
