Prince is an XML + CSS to PDF formatter.

Prince is developed by YesLogic, based in Melbourne, Australia.

History and development


In April 2003, Prince 1.0 was released, with basic support for XHTML, CSS, SVG and arbitrary XML. This first version was a command-line program that supported Windows and Linux; there was no graphical user interface for Windows yet.

In subsequent releases of Prince the CSS support was steadily extended until it was comparable with web browsers such as Opera and Mozilla Firefox. As of December 2005, Prince surpasses common web browsers in support for paged media, CSS selectors and generated content.

In December 2005, Prince 5.1 passed the Acid2 test from the Web Standards Project. It was the second user agent to pass the test.

The latest release of Prince is Prince 5.1, released in December 2005.

Prince was developed using the Mercury functional logic programming language.
