CSS Warrior

I think today is important date for future development of CSS. For many years Cascading Style Sheets were used exclusively to add style to web pages. In publishing CSS was not successful due to lack of good renderers (none of current browsers can print X(HT)ML documents decently). However the times are changing and first professional CSS formatter that can pretend to play some role in electronic publishing was released today. Prince 5 was developed by small Australian company named YesLogic and prints XML documents to PDF using Cascading Style Sheets. It supports XML, XInclude, SVG, essential part of CSS2.1, CSS3 selectors and CSS3 paged media. Product is stable and easily handles complex CSS style sheets. Comparing to other CSS rendering engines Prince is much better optimised for print media. Comparing to XSL formatters Prince is much easier to use and allows authors to accomplish design faster.
