In jfor we defined an extension to XSL-FO (the "jfor-style" attribute) to control RTF styles.
I think some form of extension is needed as (AFAIK) the concept of styles does not exist in XSL-FO, as it is meant for printed output.
(1) This is not a FOP extension, but rather a fundamental change of the XSL-FO language, which does not know stlye sheets.
Forgive my intrusion, and perhaps this is not related, or just using a different namespace, but why not define a xsl:attribute-set for each "style" and then use the xsl:use-attributes to help with the definition of the RTF/MIF style? Consider this this example (the comments are meant for people who want to modify 'my' template to change their output):
<xsl:attribute-set name="attNormal">
<!-- attNormal | attribute set: font-family,font-size,color & background-color) of entire EOR -->
<xsl:attribute name="background-color">#ffffff</xsl:attribute>
<!-- background-color for overall EOR page - default:#ffffff (white) -->
<xsl:attribute name="color">#000000</xsl:attribute>
<!-- color for text - default:#000000 (black) -->
<xsl:attribute name="font-family">courier new, courier, monospace</xsl:attribute>
<!-- font-family for text - default:"courier new,courier,monospace" -->
<!-- NOTE: Changes to font-family affects FOP rendering of EOR and may require overhaul of template! -->
<xsl:attribute name="font-size">8pt</xsl:attribute>
<!-- font-size for text - default:8pt - -->
<!-- NOTE: Changes to font-size DRASTICALLY affects FOP rendering of EOR and may require COMPLETE overhaul of template! -->
</xsl:attribute-set>
Then couple this with these fo:page-sequence calls:
<!-- DEFINE PAGE SEQUENCE - repeating -->
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="repeating">
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<fo:block padding="0pt" xsl:use-attribute-sets="attNormal">
<xsl:call-template name="tmpHeader"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="attNormal">
<xsl:call-template name="tmpFooter"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="attNormal">
<xsl:call-template name="tmpBody"/>
<fo:block padding="0pt" font-size="1pt">
<fo:marker marker-class-name="table-continued"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>Is this related to the discussion? I see that I'm using xsl: namespaces, but I'm curious to learn how this relates...
