Flying Saucer Features

h3(fs_heading){ clear: none }. Supported Features in CSS 2.1

Flying Saucer supports all of CSS 2.1 with a few exceptions.  Consult the ${issue-tracker} for more information on what is not supported (in particular, the issues with a summary of "Support ...") or ask on the ${mailing-list}.  If you do encounter a compliance bug or other unexpected behavior, please open a bug or post to the ${mailing-list}.

Features:


* 100% Java XML+CSS layout engine with Java2D (Swing) and native PDF output.  SWT coming soon. 
* Strong support for the CSS 2.1 specification including extensions to better support paged media. 
* Good performance. 
* Support for XHTML including forms. 
* Arbitrary elements may be replaced with custom content. 
* Limited support for dynamic effects (for example, the :hover pseudo-class and links) 
* Some support for PDF specific features (for example, bookmarks and internal links).  More coming soon.

Limitations:


* Resource loading is single threaded and occurs inline with layout. 
* Support for XHTML is weaker than XML+CSS (for example, not all XHTML presentational attributes are supported nor are X/HTML features like the <object> element). 
* No support for legacy HTML (although there are several open source Java HTML cleaners of varying quality available). 
* No support for incremental layout (applies to screen media only).
