Re: Prepress Support - Crop marks Apache Fop 2.1

Hi Peter,
Crop marks would not be part of the DocBook schema, but are a formatting 
feature that the stylesheets need to support (so I'm copying to 
docbook-apps as well).  Since crop marks are not defined in the XSLT 
standard, each XSL-FO implementation has to provide their own extension 
elements to support it.  In the 1.79.1 stylesheets, the crop mark 
extensions for Antenna House and XEP are implemented in fo/axf.xsl and 
fo/xep.xsl, respectively.

Since FOP has their own extension elements for crop marks using the fox: 
namespace, support for them would need to be implemented in fo/fop1.xsl. 
  That could be done in the next release.  If you want to try it 
yourself, you could see if their elements align with either XEP or 
Antenna House elements and write your own extension using fox: elements 
instead.
