Meeting: Introduction to XSL-FO and the DITA-OT

Simon Bate, Senior Technical Consultant at Scriptorium was in town teaching a class on DITA and we were lucky to have him come and share tips and information on XSL-FO and the DITA-OT. The large crowd in house as well as a good number of remote attendees kept him busy with questions. Based on the feedback I’ve received, everyone left with some good information.

Simon started with an overview of XSL-FO, discussing the basic concepts as well as its strengths and weaknesses. He then explained how to develop a “plugin for the plugin” to allow you to easily (well, that may depend) create customizations to the DITA-OT PDF2 plugin.
