Okay, for the record:

=========================
in httpd.conf:
AxAddStyleMap text/xsl-fo Apache::AxKit::Language::FOP
(but no AxAddProcessor -- I guess I'd only do that if I had a section
dedicated to FOP, right?) ('cause with it in, my regular html chain tried to
turn everything into PDF)
=========================
In my .xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="file:///opt/dev/interface/axkit/xsl/pdf/general.xsl"
type="text/xsl"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="NULL" type="text/xsl-fo"?>
<DOCUMENT>....
=========================
And it Just Worked. No file extension mojo needed with Mozilla 1.3 --
haven't tried IE yet. I've got a whole task dedicated to making everything
play nice with IE. :(
So PassiveTeX does FO -> PDF transforms, directly? (though an invisible
LaTeX step, I gather). Are there any good comparisons of the two? (I'm
using FOP 'cause it's what I used before, and RenderX wasn't free, but if I
could avoid Java I'd be a happy camper...)
Thanks for your help!
