Improvement ideas for XML::Printer::ESCPOS

This document tries to summarize what needs to be done to make XML::Printer::ESCPOS a module that is easy to use.

Implemented Printer::ESCPOS methods

• tabPositions
• font
• justify
• fontHeight
• fontWidth
• charSpacing
• lineSpacing
• selectDefaultLineSpacing
• printPosition
• leftMargin
• printNVImage
• printImage
• print

Ideas for convenience functions

• Add number of lines to <lf /> like <lf lines="3" />
• Automatic word wrap for utf8ImagedText and normal text (could be based on Text::Wrapper, especially for mono-spaced fonts)
• Add option to send calls to printer object only after the full document was parsed. This would allow to signal illegal document structure before sending anything to the printer object.
