Re: FOP from XT?

I'm sure you could hack either FOP or XT to enable this, by treating FOP as
an output method handler. But FOP currently implements the reverse, at James
Clark's suggestion. FOP can treat XT as if it were a SAX Parser, thereby
executing XT from within FOP. The com.jtauber.fop.apps.XTCommandLine (now
org.apache.fop.apps.XTCommandLine) class provides a way of doing this on the
command line.

NOTE: I think XTCommandLine broke recently with changes to XT. Some people
have also reported odd behaviour when XT/FOP are run this way. The FOP
developers will work to fix these problems, but if all else fails, resort to
running XT and FOP as two separate steps for now.
