    <s3 title="What is FOP">
<anchor name="q1"></anchor>
      <p>
        FOP is a print formatter for XSL formatting objects.
      </p>
      <p>
        It can be used to render an XML file containing XSL formatting objects
        into a page layout. The main target is PDF but other rendering targets
        are supported, such as AWT, PCL, text and direct printing.
      </p>
    </s3>
    <s3 title="How does FOP interact with other Apache Projects?">
<anchor name="q2"></anchor>
      <p>
        FOP is distributed with <jump href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon">Cocoon</jump> as a PDF serializer for XSL (FO) documents.
      </p>
      <p>
        <jump href="http://xml.apache.org/batik">Batik</jump> can be used with FOP to <jump href="http://xml.apache.org/batik/svgrasterizer.html">transcode an SVG image</jump> into a PDF document.
