Subject:   PassiveTeX, TEI XSL, XSL FO March 2000

I have updated the contents of my PassiveTeX XSL FO processor on http://users.ox.ac.uk/~rahtz/passivetex/ with a version which uses the March 2000 XSL FO spec. It does not conform, but it does something with all but 17 objects [1], and at least _recognizes_ all the properties. [2] A good many properties are ignored, and for others I do not handle the full range of values.

The TEI XSL stylesheets at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~rahtz/tei/ have also been updated, in both their HTML and XSL FO incarnations.

I am sure that in some places the TEI XSL FO stylesheets, and PassiveTeX, misinterpret the XSL FO spec.

I will actively support and develop both PassiveTeX and the TEI stylesheets, and welcome feedback.

All of this material conforms to the Debian Free Software Guidelines.

[2] I generated the code from the spec, so things like names and defaults are exactly what is in there, for good or bad.

I forgot to mention the other important change, which is that the "language" and "hyphenate" properties are implemented. By default now no hyphenation, as per spec.

I tested this slightly. It assumes, obviously, that your TeX setup has got the right language hyphenation patterns available.
