RE:RTF renderer

[Andres Masero Terron <am...@campus.uoc.es>]

Hello Bertrand, 
I'm working on a XSL stylesheet to transform an XML document 
into RTF.
The main problem I have is how to include .GIF files in my RTF 
document.

Do you know how can I make it?

Regards, and a Happy New Year...

Andres.

Thanks for the information - I'll keep you posted when we actually start 
working on the renderer.

Hi, Bertrand

My motivation is to promote the development of an RTF renderer, so obviously 
anything that helps is welcomed.

The Renderer interface and the PDF Renderer implementation should be 
excellent guides.

I don't know if I'd recommend looking at Jade. I had to go through the 
source one time trying to track down a bug during a PowerPC build, and even 
though I know C++ I found it pretty hard slogging. I'm thinking perhaps that 
this is where Guy's stuff would come in really helpful.

Hello, Arved and Guy,

There is a fair chance that I can get funding to have one of my coworkers 
work on an RTF back-end for FOP, starting mid-January. Again, please let me 
know if we can help the "official" team instead of doing it in our own 
backyard.

I won't have much time to look at it before January 10th, but if you could 
provide pointers about how to interface with FOP, it might help us get 
started. I assume we'll have a look at the current PDF and AWT renderers to 
start with, but any suggestions are welcome.

I was also thinking of having a look at the code of jade, which as far as I 
know can generate RTF based on DSSSL stylesheets.

Thanks for your help, and a happy new year to all!

Hello Arved,

If incorparating some useful bits from jxrtf into fop gives them a future
then let's do it.
Don't know if  I  can help a lot on coding (not lot of time)  but on
explaining what's inside jxrtf there is no problem. It would be with
pleasure.

Just let me know.

Regards,

Guy Bobenrieth

Hello, Guy

Happy New Year to you, also.

If there is work you have done for JXRTF that could directly help out FOP, 
do you think that you would be interested in helping fit it in? I see that 
JXRTF is covered under a very liberal license, so we could start 
incorporating useful bits today, but I'd very much prefer to ask and get you 
involved.

Hello,

It is not for doing my own promotion but I have started a project since many
months ago to produce rtf files from xml.

I'm not using "the fo way" but my own one.

May be could it be if any interste for you to look at it on
http://jxrtf.sourceforge.net.

Jxrtf handles natively (by using java) wmf images and for other formats it
uses a jni interface to Teddy a home grown shared lib on top of the Ted
editor.

I think it could be intersting to see if it exists a approach to make a mixe
of jxrtf capabilities on top of "xml fo" files.

Happy new year.
