Prince supports all common web standards, including HTML, CSS and JavaScript, through its own code. That is, Prince is not based on a browser engine, but implements its own engine.
Prince can generate accessible PDFs conforming to the PDF/UA profile (ISO 14289, the International Standard for accessible PDF technology) that can be used by people with assistive technologies.[6]
Prince supports many languages, including Thai, Indic scripts (Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, etc.)[7] and right-to-left scripts like Arabic and Hebrew.
Prince is developed by YesLogic, a small company based in Melbourne, Australia. Since 2004, Håkon Wium Lie, the co-creator of CSS, has been chairman of the board.
