+ <body>
+ <p>
+ By "extension", we mean any data that can be placed in the input XML document that
+ is not addressed by the XSL-FO standard.
+ By having a mechanism for supporting extensions, FOP is able to add features that
+ are not covered in the specification.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The extensions documented here are included with FOP, and are automatically available
+ to you. If you wish to add an extension of your own to FOP, please see the
+ <a href="../dev/extensions.html">Developers' Extension Page</a>.
+ </p>
+ <note>All extensions required the correct use of an appropriate namespace in your input document.</note>

+ <title>FO Extensions</title>
+ <section id="fox-namespace">
+ <title>Namespace</title>
+ <p>
+ By convention, FO extensions in FOP use the "fox" namespace prefix.
+ To use any of the FO extensions, add a namespace entry for
+ <code>http://xml.apache.org/fop/extensions</code> to the root element:
+ </p>
+ <source><![CDATA[<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
+ xmlns:fox="http://xml.apache.org/fop/extensions">]]></source>
+ <note>Currently, no extensions are implemented in FOP Trunk which use the FOP extension namespace.</note>
+ </section>
+ <section id="bookmarks">
+ <title>PDF Bookmarks</title>
+ <p>
+ In previous versions of Apache FOP there was a <code>fox:outline</code> element
+ which was used to create outlines in PDF files. The redesigned code makes use
+ of the new <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_bookmark-tree">bookmark feature defined in the latest XSL 1.1 working draft</a>.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+ <section id="named-destinations">
+ <title>Anchors or Named Destinations</title>
+ <p>This extension element hasn't been reimplemented for the redesigned code, yet.</p>
+ <!--p>Use the fox:destination element to define "named destinations" inside a PDF document.
+These are useful as fragment identifiers, e.g. "http://server/document.pdf#anchor-name".
+fox:destination elements can be placed almost anywhere in the fo document, including a child of
+root, a block-level element, or an inline-level element.
+For the destination to actually work, it must correspond to an "id" attribute on some fo element
+within the document. In other words, the "id" attribute actually creates the "view" within the
+PDF document. The fox:destination simply gives that view an independent name.
+</p>
+ <source><![CDATA[<fox:destination internal-destination="table-of-contents"/>
+...
+<fo:block id="table-of-contents">Table of Contents</fo:block>]]></source>
+ <warning>It is possible that in some future release of FOP, <em>all </em>elements with
+"id" attributes will generate named-destinations, which will eliminate the need for
+fox:destination.</warning-->
+ </section>
+ <section id="table-continue-label">
+ <title>Table Continuation Label</title>
+ <p>This extension element hasn't been reimplemented for the redesigned code, yet.</p>
+ <!--p>Use the fox:continued-label element to create content in table-header and
+table-footer cells that will appear only on pages after the first page that the table
+appears. fox:continued-label is itself inline content, and is a container of fo:inline
+content. This content will be laid out only if the table does not fit on a single page and flows
+to following pages. Here is an example of FO code creating such a table-header:</p>
+<source><![CDATA[<fo:table-header>
+ <fo:table-row>
+ <fo:table-cell>
+ <fo:block>Header column 1 with continued label
+ <fox:continued-label><fo:inline> (cont.)</fo:inline></fox:continued-label>
+ </fo:block>
+ </fo:table-cell>
+ <fo:table-cell>
+ <fo:block>Header column 2 with no continued label</fo:block>
+ </fo:table-cell>
+ </fo:table-row>
+</fo:table-header>]]></source-->
