xmlroff is a fast, free, high-quality, multi-platform XSL formatter.

xmlroff is an open source XSL formatter that uses only open source libraries. xmlroff is written in C and it produces PDF and PostScript using libgnomeprint.

xmlroff creates formatted output -- pages containing text in a variety of type styles and sizes -- from an input XML document and an XSL stylesheet (which is also XML). This processing model is defined in the XSL Recommendation [XSL] that was developed by the W3C.

xmlroff is a command line program, but the bulk of the XSL formatting is implemented as a 'libfo' library that can be linked with any program that requires XSL formatting capability. xmlroff also has a Java Native Interface (JNI) for calling the formatter from your Java program.

What's New in This Release:
xmlroff manpage in DocBook XML (Oliver Kiddle)
Cairo backend is less experimental
Added Cairo backend SVG output that is really experimental
Added handling of base for relative URIs when '--compat' is used
Handles 'auto' for page width and height (1159713)
Reworked checking for popt (1207495)
