Road Map

The current version is 0.8. The following items need to be implemented for 1.0:

a "cell" tag that mirrors fpdf's cell.

an implementation of arc, circle and elipse.

possibly a way to do multi-columns

possibly tags for form input fields

possibly a way to attach script events to specific tags

possibly rounded rectangle

The generic road-map for 2.0 is as follow:

rethink layout. currently, we have a parser talking to a PDF generator, without any kind of layout abstraction in the middle, except for what FPDF provides. We want an abstracted layout system that only outputs PDF once the document is fully created. This will allow to render correctly fragments like "hello <font size="300%">W</font>orld", and to have alignment options for div tags.

remove tags. Anything that is really a php command thinly disguised as a tag probably does not belong here. This mostly targets cell and multicells.

add tags. How close to HTML to we want to get? adding HR, H1 or BLOCKQUOTE is not hard, but do we gain much from it?

extend tags. having support for a CSS-like syntax could be quite beneficial.

As you see, the short term goal is to add raw functionality, while for the long term, the idea is to make PDML more "correct" and flexible.
