XSL-FO, CSS and Paged Output at XML Prague 2026
Room RB211 at 15:00–16:30 on June 4 – hosted by Antenna House
Producing formatted pages continues to still be important to many of us. The Antenna House unconference session will again share developments and experiences in producing paged media and discuss topics of interest.
This is a session of two halves: we’ll talk with you about the state of Antenna House software, including what’s new with Antenna House Formatter V7.5, and you can talk with us and with your peers about challenges that you’ve faced or features that you’d like to see.
Once again, this also is an opportunity to brainstorm with the assembled about a challenge you’re facing and are trying to solve.
If you have an interesting example to share or a five- or ten-minute talk about an aspect of producing paged media, please get in touch with Tony Graham tony@antennahouse.com.
We want this session to address what you are interested in. Give us your comments! You can add a comment here or contact us directly.
Generating pages from XML, no matter which tool you use, is typically a batch process using preconfigured stylesheets, so we are particularly interested to hear how you tweak individual documents to correct bad page breaks, keep a figure with its text, and so on.
The following are possible topics. The exact makeup will depend on what you, the users, want to see or present:
- What do you want to see in future Antenna House Formatter releases?
- Examples of really challenging formatting requirements and how they were handled
- DemoJam – Your interesting formatting examples:
- The challenges
- The final output
- Useful extensions
- How would you do this with XSL-FO? / How would you do that with CSS?
- Is quality typography important?
- What does it take to transition from XSL-FO to CSS?
