Subject: Re: [xsl] The Future of Browser-Bound XML? From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 04 Jul 2002 11:47:15 -0400 |
I've often wondered whether Adobe Acrobat wouldn't make a nice native XML browser if it had built in FO(and SVG!) support and an XSLT engine. Mind you, I'm not asking them to parse HTML ... wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Well, Adobe make a very nice SVG plug in. It might be possible to make an XSL-FO -> SVG converter - probably not a job for (straight) XSLT as you'd need access to font characteristics in order to do word-placement and wrapping. But an interesting project nonetheless, and you'd get support for embedded SVG for free :)
Cheers, Wendell
