Subject: [xsl] XSL-FO versus PostScript From: Zack Brown <zbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 12:14:42 -0800 |
Hi folks, Could someone explain the advantages of XSL-FO over PostScript? As far as I can see, XSLT can be used to output both, and PostScript looks like the more powerful language. Can't I exert more control over my documents if I go directly from XML to PostScript? The one argument I can see in favor of FO is that it presents a method of page description that is more intuitive than PostScript. But even that is kind of iffy. XSL-FO goes through a lot of hoops (like inheritance) to avoid programmatic flow control. And the result is fairly convoluted. Thanks, Zack -- Zack Brown XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
