RtfRenderer at last!

[Bertrand Delacretaz <bd...@codeconsult.ch>]

Well, not really, just a very rough first cut...
Some FOP examples are converted into reasonable RTF documents, others just 
plain bomb.

COMPILED DISTRIBUTION
None yet. Too limited for now to be useful.
We'll be working on it in the next two weeks, so expect more maturity soon.

CVSWEB ACCESS
You can use http://codeconsult.dsvr.co.uk/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi to look at the 
code - please don't mistake this for the official FOP CVS, it is our own 
server with our own working copy of FOP.

WHAT'S NEW
We added packages org/apache/fop/rtf and org/apache/fop/render/rtf, with a 
very small change to org/apache/fop/apps/Driver.java.

HOW TO TEST
Get the stuff from OUR anonymous CVS as shown below. 
I feel we need some more work before we send patches to the FOP team.
Compile in the usual way - if you're not comfortable with this please wait 
some more for a compiled distribution.
To test the renderer use class org.apache.fop.render.rtf.RtfRendererTest from 
the command-line, which converts an FO file to RTF.

GETTING INVOLVED
Comments/fixes about the current code are welcome.
I will post sample RTF files to our site when we feel good about them, and 
we'd appreciate your feedback on how these look in different word processors, 
watch for messages with "RtfRenderer testing" subjects on the mailing list.

GETTING THE CODE
Use anonymous cvs from 
:pserver:anoncvs@codeconsult.dsvr.co.uk:/usr/local/cvsroot 
Password is "anoncvs", module name is xml-fop

Have fun!
