| XMLmind XSL-FO Converter | ||
The W3C Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) v1.0
Recommendation 
defines three levels of
conformance for an XSL-FO processor: basic, extended and complete. Since
XMLmind XSL-FO Converter currently does not conform to any of these levels,
this document provides a complete list of supported objects/properties,
along with additional information for objects/properties that are not fully
supported.
Note: The background color (white, light green or green) of each entry in the tables below indicates the level of conformance (basic, extended or complete) of that particular object/property, as specified by the Recommendation.
