FOP 0.20.4 Standards Compliance

W3C XSL-FO 1.0 Standard

W3C XSL-FO 1.0 Standard

FOP's goal is to be compliant with the W3C XSL-FO 1.0 standard. There are three levels of compliance specified in the standard: basic, extended, and complete. In the tables below, blue indicates support at the specified level of compliance, and red indicates a lack of support.

The following is a summary of FOP's current support for the standard XSL-FO objects.
