Bruno Lowagie commented on DOXIA-53:
------------------------------------
I'm writing my second book about iText, and I still have my dayjob (to pay the
bills), so currently I don't have much time.
I guess that your question is about the XmlWriter and different Xml2Pdf
classes. They used to work in the past, but as described in my first book:
there are better ways to do it. As I suggested a year ago (I'm surprised I had
the time to answer back then, because that was when my son had Cancer and a
week before I got ill myself), you could 'resurrect' the XML package, but when
I look at your patch, it contains several RTF files that seem irrelevant. That
confuses me. The RTF package is still present in iText, why the need for those
files in your patch?
Also I have never heard of the ITextSinkTestCase. Please prepare a small jar
with ONLY the XML package and a small standalone example that reproduces the
problem. Then send a mail to the iText mailing list
itext-questi...@lists.sourceforge.net and explain the problem there.
> Pdf and Rtf support with the iText framework
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DOXIA-53
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA-53
> Project: Maven Doxia
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Vincent Siveton
> Assignee: Vincent Siveton
> Fix For: 1.0-alpha-9
>
> Attachments: doxia_itext.zip, generated-doc.zip,
> itext-xmloutput2.patch, itext_plugin.zip, maven-doxia-itext2.patch
>
>
> Propose a Pdf/Rtf support with the iText framework for Doxia.
> Here is the architecture:
> - added an itext module in doxia-modules
> - created a doxia-doc-renderer (similar to doxia-site-renderer)
> - created an iText plugin for maven
> The iText module generates iText XML files. So, documents should be generated
> in Pdf or Rtf format (supported by iText).
> You could see the howto in the plugin for more information or try the project
> tests.
> According MPIR-17, we could be more generic by defining a new generated XML
> Doxia (I mean another DoxiaSink) and apply XSLT to generate other formats
> (like javahelp)
> Known limitations:
> - known limitations from the iText framework like roman list
> - i18n for the "table of contents" title
> - reports are not supported
> - Renderer for Fml and Xdoc format should be improved. Parsers suppose that
> the renderer is HTML.
> Attachments are:
> - doxia zip with diff (containing doxia-doc-renderer and doxia-module-itext)
> and resources
> - itext plugin zip with diff and resources
> - a zip containing generated documents for the site project (real examples)
