[FM Discuss] New to FM - Cool Latex-style PDF and outline creation tool

[Marcio Galli]

Hi adam ( e janet ) thanks for the answers. I looked for xinha and objavi (
understand now how to pronouce heh and that is it not related to video )>
very impressive work the objavi releases you guys doing and all this infra
to let organizations generate PDF from data-sources.

you saing "objavi 2
can output anything that renders in a browser  " . Objavi calls the browser
API ( would it be gecko? or can it be Gecko as a server type thing? ). I
also found that xhtml2pdf claims that FLOSSManuals are using it. What is the
relationship ? Documentarion here might be the source code right?
