What is Content Compare XSL-FO?
Content Compare XSL-FO is a simple REST API for comparison of XSL-FO content. Our sophisticated algorithms analysis how your content has changed between revisions, in the context of the structure of one version.
Changes are output either using XSL-FO, or or using oXygen, Arbortext, XMetal and Framemaker Track Change output formats.
