RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] new pdf serializer in HEAD

Torsten

what about supporting iText tagmap?
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch07.html

it would need small changes:

1. add tagmap file name to configuration, and one more field member
"tagmap".
2. change in setOutputStream()
        this.contentHandler = new SAXiTextHandler(document);
to 
        this.contentHandler = new SAXmyHandler(document, tagmap);



thanks,
Argyn

What for? We have pipelines. You could easily do that with a simple 
transformation. I don't see a reason for supporting this besides the tagmap 
might be faster than XSLT.... (but that's also just an assumption)
Not supporting it would force the "cocoon use pattern"


but since it's really easy to add...
just tell me why you think it's useful and I will add it anyway ;-)

PS: did you test it a little? how is your feeling about fop vs. iText?
