I forgot to mention an important feature of our electronic publication that
may not be evident to the first-time reader: since the book is published
from XML using XSL-FO, the PDF file is extensively hyperlinked. When you
click on the name of a property or formatting object you are moved to the
page with the definition of that construct. When you click on a section
number of the XSL Recommendation, a browser window is opened and you are
brought directly to the section in the document. When you minimize the
browser window and click on another section, the browser window is opened
instantly to the new section without having to reload the document.
I've found this a very handy reference in that our entire book is, essentially, a different way of navigating the FO Recommendation that is published in the Recommendation document itself. I think this is a good example of the new model for publishing that is made possible when using XML and XSL-FO. The freely downloadable preview is similarly hyperlinked so you can test this for yourself. ..................
