Release of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter v6.4.3

XMLmind XSL-FO Converter Evaluation Edition v6.4.3 can be downloaded from https://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/downloadeval.shtml. Professional Edition users, please upgrade using this form: https://www.xmlmind.com/store/download.php.

Enhancements:

• XMLmind XSL Utility and XMLmind XSL Server: upgraded the following software components:
  • Updated FlatLaf to version 3.4.1. (On Linux, the FlatLaf light theme is used as the default Look & Feel of XMLmind XSL Utility.)
  • Upgraded Saxon to version 12.5.
  • Upgraded XMLmind DITA Converter (ditac for short) to version 3.15.1.
• XMLmind XSL Utility, started as a desktop application, now accepts the file to be converted as a command-line argument. Linux example: /opt$ xslutil-6_4_3/bin/xslutil userguide/doc.ditamap &

  In such case, when the file extension of the input file is well known (dita, ditamap, html, xhtml, fo, etc), the corresponding conversion to DOCX is automatically selected as well as an output file having the same name and directory as the input file, but with a "docx" extension. In the case of the above example, the "ditaToDocx" conversion is automatically selected with a "userguide/doc.docx" output file.

• All programs which are part of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter are now officially supported on Java™ 22 platforms.

Bug fixes:

• Converting an XML file not having a fo:root as its root element caused the XMLmind XSL-FO Converter engine to raise a NullPointerException. Now, in such case, the XFC engine raises a SAXException with a meaningful error message.
• RTF, WML, DOCX output formats: there was no way to position the page header (resp. page footer) as close as possible to the upper (resp. lower) bound of the page by setting fo:simple-page-master/@margin-top (resp. fo:simple-page-master/@margin-bottom) to 0.

What is XMLmind XSL-FO Converter?

XMLmind XSL-FO Converter is an XSL-FO processor similar to Apache FOP, RenderX XEP or Antenna House XSL Formatter, except that it generates RTF, WML, ODT and DOCX file formats rather than PDF.

XMLmind XSL-FO Converter is available as a Java™ software component, a .NET software component, a desktop application and a server-side application (Java Servlet).

The desktop application called XMLmind XSL Utility makes it easy converting DITA, DocBook, XHTML and XSL-FO documents to a variety of formats (PDF, RTF, WML, ODT, DOCX, HTML, EPUB, Web Help, etc).

XMLmind XSL Utility also makes it easy customizing the deliverables it generates (PDF, DOCX, EPUB, Web Help, etc) and this, without modifying configuration files by hand and without prior knowledge of XSLT.
