This book is a tutorial on how to use the W3C's new XSL-F0 technology for publication quality enterprise publishing.
Definitive XSL-FO delivers concise, authoritative coverage of every key facet of the new W3C recommendation, XSL-FO. XSL-FO (XSL Formatting Objects) is the critical enabling technology that allows enterprise applications to produce production-quality output from large XML data stores. There is a large constituency of users of information who prefer the printed format of physical pages over the screen format of a web document. As more web services are deployed and more companies bring more of their information into XML structures, the need for the printed form will grow. Developers have long been used to producing HTML reports and screen-based results, without considering paginating their information into a form (such as a PDF file) suitable for printing.

G. KEN HOLMAN is Chief Technology Officer for Crane Softwrights Ltd. and Canadian chair of the ISO SGML standards group. Ken is an invited expert to the W3C®, a member of the W3C Working Group that developed XML, and founder of the OASIS Technical Committees for XML and XSLT conformance. His many books on XML technologies include Definitive XSLT and XPath. About the Series EditorCHARLES F. GOLDFARB is the father of XML technology. He invented SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup Language on which both XML and HTML are based. You can find him on the Web at www.xmlbooks.com.
