I think it would be preferable to have a FOP option to output the intermediate FO file that it uses in its processing, similar to the way many compilers can output some of their intermediate files.
Just today I've finally diagnosed a strangeness in my program to the fact that using FOP to transform gives a different result sometimes than doing the transform manually and following it with a FOP run on the .fo file. In my case, the difference was from having the following line in my XSL file: <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> This is respected when doing the manual transform, but the FOP run seems to treat it as "no". I'll shortly be posting an email related to this latter issue. Patrick Rusk P.S. I think that XEP provides separate files for doing the transform followed by the rendering. I found them handy. Of course, I've created some for FOP, as I'm sure most do. -----Original Message----- From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 5:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FOP 0.20.4 & 5rc timing w large COMMENT sections Would you think we should put a Xalan.bat/Xalan.sh file into the FOP distribution?
