Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: need help with Passivetex errors
Thanks very much for your detailed explanations. I gonna take this challenge as soon as i got the time. I tried FOP already and the rendering isnt as nice as i expected. example: the pagenumbering in the table of content doesnt look very nice. What about Passivetex rendering: Are there any /many problems like this? Or can you really generate a printable PDF for real life (which means: it looks very fine) Are there any webpages which compares FOP/PassiveText/XEP (are there any others?) with showing real world pdfs to look at? kind regards janning Am Mittwoch, 11.
