Could you (or someone who has time) check this using a small example
with Apache FOP? This is so clever that it may not be implemented in
some rederers. IIRC, the tentative PDF rendering solution was to
involve FOP.
Great idea -- I don't have FOP, but this is defined behavior in the
DocBook standards (as opposed to any cleverness on my part -- I just
read it in DocBook:TDG!), so I'll be very surprised if it doesn't
deliver as promised. I'll yield this task to someone who has it
installed. Is Mark Johnson out there? I thought he used FOP, but I'm
not sure.
