You can take a look at the gsoc ML<br>> archive [1], we (me and calixte) detailled the subject but none of the<br>> student were selected this year.<br>> <br>> Basically the goal is to be able to generate XSL-FO [2] (kind of an XML<br>> graphical dialect) from the Docbook pages (kind of XML content) and<br>> then call Apache FOP [3] to generate the PDF files from the XSL-FO<br>> ones. Note that you have to preserve compatibility with `xmltopdf' [4].<br>> <br>> That's mainly a java class (FODocbookTagConverter.java) to implement.<br>> <br>> [1]: http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Gsoc-Fwd-GSOC-IDEA-Improve-PDF<br>> -generation-td4031833.html<br>> [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSL_Formatting_Objects<br>> [3]: https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/<br>> [4]: help xmltopdf<br>> <br>> --<br>> Clément <davidcl> DAVID<br>> <br>> Le jeudi 11 juin 2015 à 15:29 +0530, Shubheksha Jalan a écrit :<br>> > Hi, I'd like to contribute to the "Improvement of PDF generation" <br>> > idea mentioned here: <br>> > http://wiki.scilab.org/Contributor%20-%20PDF%20generation<br>> > <br>> > I've been looking through the Scilab source code lately.
