This page is for keeping thoughts about the expected output formats *other than* XML.

The formats discussed so far are:

• Well-structured HTML
• Unpaginated text
• Paginated text
• PDF
• EPUB

Joe goes here.

A way to eliminate the need for widow/orphan control or bad page breaks in figures is to just be willing to leave extra white space at the bottom of the paginated pages. If a single paragraph or figure is too large to fit on a paginated page (the tool should warn about this every time it emits paginated text output), the Production Center can break the paragraph or split the figure into two.

We have talked about using PrinceXML to generate PDF.

We need to have at least two formats: US-standard (8.5 x 11) and A4.

If we also want to do MOBI (the native Amazon format), we might consider running the free-but-closed-source program from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000765211. If people are hesitant about us even partially supporting that program, we could consider having a pointer to the program on an advisory page on rfc-editor.org.
