Victor, While we're on the subject of books and resources for FOP Resources, here's a couple things to add. One of my previous posts included a list of good books on XSL-FO (some of which you've listed). Here's a link to my post.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-user&m=104463666315238&w=2 Aside from the usual suspects of good XSL-FO books, it also includes a link to the excellent XPath Visualizer which unfortunately only runs in Internet Exploiter :-( XPath Visualizer: http://www.vbxml.com/xpathvisualizer/ Extra Credit: (I "hand wrote" the signature on that message in a spate of frustration regarding all of the "This msg intended for recipient..." sigs. Looking back on it, it's pretty funny! ;-] In addition, there are two new books: - Definitive XSL-FO, by G. Ken Holman - ISBN: 0131403745 (Chapter 8 - "Floats & Footnotes" online at Amazon) - XSL Formatting Objects, by Doug Lovell - ISBN: 0672322811 (Chapter 3 - "Tools & Implementations" online at Amazon) (I haven't seen them, anyone have a review) BTW, it'd be great to add Amazon.com links to the selected books which include "donation" information for FOP (or Apache or Jeremias--I'm pluggin' for ya!--or whomever?). That way, links to good books from the highly trafficked FOP Resources page could actually bring in a bit of $$ to help pay for coffee, Mtn Dew, donuts or paper? ;-) Victor Mote wrote: > J.Pietschmann wrote: > > >>Buy Mike Kay's book on XSLT (ISBN 1861005067) and perhaps >>D.Pawsons book about XSLFO (ISBN 0596003552) and work through >>the examples.
