You could have also done it like
<xsl:template match="repeater">
<xsl:apply-templates select="tubby"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tubby">
<fo:block>
Name : <xsl:value-of select="name"/> / Colour :
<xsl:value-of select="colour"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Subject: RE: Merging XML and FO files
For anybody who may be searching this list in trying to find the answers
to the questions I am asking, this is how it is done :
XML File :
<repeater>
<tubby>
<name>Dipsy</name>
<colour>Green</colour>
</tubby>
<tubby>
<name>Laalaa</name>
<colour>Red</colour>
</tubby>
<tubby>
<name>Po</name>
<colour>Purple</colour>
</tubby>
</repeater>
XSL File :
<xsl:for-each select="repeater/tubby">
<fo:block>
Name : <xsl:value-of select="name"/> / Colour : <xsl:value-of
select="colour"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
This will generate the following pdf :
Name : Dipsy / Colour : Green
Name : Laalaa / Colour : Red
Name : Po / Colour : Purple
Once again thanks to all those who replied

That's great, thanks a lot for those files they more or less cover
everything I needed to know.
One small thing though, due to the nature of the documents I am creating
the ability to create "intelligent" tables is essential. As an example
I have a table called "foos" in which all my foos are listed, the data
being held in a database. Now as the total of foos I have increases (or
decreases), I will need to regenerate the table (PDF) and this table
needs to look professional. So I need something that will allow me to
create dynamic tables that will only contain the amount of rows I need
to add the details of the foos in the database.
I had a look around on http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/ I
found some information about basic merging, but nothing on dynamic
merges.
