    Primary class that activates the FOP process for embedded usage.

    JAXP is the standard method of embedding FOP in Java programs. Please check our embedding page for samples (these are also available within the distribution in FOP_DIR\examples\embedding)

    Methods within FOUserAgent are available to customize portions of the process. For example, a specific Renderer object can be specified, also ElementMappings which determine elements in the FO that can be processed) can be added.

    At the moment, it is recommended not to reuse an instance of this class for more than one rendering run.
