One solution would be to use another XSLT stylesheet to do this: Have an XSLT stlyle sheet that detects paragraphs and copies everything else to the target document.

It's part of the standard so it'll be supported before 1.0 is released.

If you can dedicate budget to it, look at RenderX, they are pricey but support more of the XSL standard than FOP does at this time Carlos > > -David > > On Sat, 23 Feb 2002, Carlos wrote: > >> What is it that you're trying to do?
