Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Do different xslt processors and parsers really make a difference for pdf output?


Thanks, Norm. Yes, I evaluated fop, xep, and ahf, and bought the Antenna House Formatter. My question now is between xsltproc, Saxon 6.5, and Saxon 10. All three are working for me, and I don't have a reason to prefer one to the others. Is there one?

That’s going to depend on how complicated your output is. The commercial
processors like AntennaHouse offer both better and more complete support
for the FO specification. They also offer extensions for things that
never got standardized.
