[ANN] Release of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter v6.0
Release of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter v6.0. Highlights:

- Extension attribute xfc:label-format has been enhanced to support 
multi-level numbering (e.g. "1.A.a.") in fo:list-blocks.

- New extension attribute xfc:render-as-table may be used as a quick and 
easy workaround for one of the most annoying limitations of XFC: the 
very poor rendering of fo:block “divisions” having borders and/or 
background colors (e.g. complex notes, admonitions, sidebars).

- Modified the DocBook, DITA and XHTML XSL stylesheets so they use these 
new extension attributes.

- All XFC extension attributes are introduced in new article "How to 
adapt your existing XSLT stylesheet to the specificities of XMLmind 
XSL-FO Converter" 
(http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/adapt_xslt/adapt_xslt.html).

- Updated ALL software components (FOP, Batik, Saxon, ditac, etc) in 
XMLmind XSL Utility and XMLmind XSL Server.

- A few bug fixes, most of them related to the DOCX output format.

- Now officially supported on Java™ 11 platforms and on macOS Mojave 
(10.14).

---------------------------------
What is XMLmind XSL-FO Converter?
---------------------------------

XMLmind XSL-FO Converter is an XSL-FO processor similar to Apache FOP, 
RenderX XEP or Antenna House XSL Formatter, except that it generates 
RTF, WML, ODT and DOCX file formats rather than PDF.

More importantly, this commercial product comes with a handy desktop 
application called "XMLmind XSL Utility" 
(http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/xsl_utility.html) which makes it 
easy converting DITA documents to a variety of formats (PDF, RTF, WML, 
ODT, DOCX, HTML, EPUB, Web Help, etc).

XMLmind XSL Utility also makes it easy customizing the deliverables it 
generates (PDF, DOCX, EPUB, Web Help, etc) and this, without modifying 
configuration files by hand and without prior knowledge of XSLT. See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xslutil.ConversionEditor.html#customizing_xslt
