| <p> |
| Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is the most popular XSL-FO implementation. |
| It is used to create documents in PDF, PostScript and other formats. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language) is a W3C standard which consists of two parts: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>XSL Transformations (XSLT)</li> |
| <li>XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO)</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| Apache FOP currently supports a large subset of XSL-FO 1.0 and some of the new features |
| to be introduced with XSL-FO 1.1. Details on the compliance levels can be found on the FOP |
| website. |
| </p> |

| The software is written in Java and published under a liberal license, the |
| Apache License version 2.0, which allows commercial use and redistribution. |
