Paragraph attributes

Most paragraph attributes (e.g. indentation) are supported. Vertical spacing is handled reasonably in most cases.

Font attributes

Most font attributes (family, size, weight, etc) are supported.

Lists

Both bulleted and numbered lists are supported. XFC tries to infer the numbering style from the label of the first list item. If the numbering style cannot be recognized list items are output as plain paragraphs. Nested lists are supported.

Tables

XFC supports both the fixed and automatic table layout, as well as the two border models defined in the W3C recommendation. The implementation of the collapsing border model does not strictly conforms to the CSS2 specification, but should give the expected result in most cases.

Images

Out of the box, XFC supports WMF, EMF, BMP (only .NET version and Java™ 1.5+), TIFF (only .NET version and Java™ on the Mac), GIF, JPEG and PNG graphics.

Implementing the public, documented, Graphic and GraphicFactory interfaces (IGraphic and IGraphicFactory for the .NET version) allows third-party programmers to add support for even more graphic formats.

Embedded foreign XML

The XML content of a fo:instream-foreign-object element is now passed to the proper GraphicFactory. For this to work, the fo:instream-foreign-object element must have a content-type attribute containing a media type supported by a registered GraphicFactory.

Note that content-type ``sniffing'' is implemented only for SVG and MathML and that content-type attributes starting with "namespace-prefix:" are completely ignored.

Headers and footers

static-content elements associated with the before and after regions are converted to page headers and footers respectively.

Page references

Page references (page-number-citation elements) are supported.

Hypertext links

Both internal and external links are supported.
