Design Documentation Question
I'm just trying to get familiar with fop design, with the ultimate
intention of participating. I have two questions.
I got the source from cvs. I am looking in xml-fop/docs/design and also
xml-fop/docs/design/alt.design but it is not clear to me how I am meant
to view the various documentation files (xml, png, svg and whatnot) in
those directories. Are they meant to be examined separately, or are
they used to create some html or pdf that I should look at?
Also, I cannot get at the faq servlet listed on the website. I think I
saw mention somewhere in the archives to this list that there may be a
known problem with, but I cannot for the life of me re-locate that in
the archive. How does one get at the latest faq for development?

Hi Keiron. Thanks for the response.
Regarding the faq, I don't really have specific questions yet. I am
just trying to do my homework so that I can avoid taking up people's
time once I get in the swing of working with FOP.

The "htmldoc" build target converts these into the html documentation
that you can see on the website. It is easier to view the html
documentation.

The faq is really for user issues.
What do you want to know?
