Hello
all.
About a year ago I
developed a database-enabled text-parsing engine that can be used to create
letters and faxes and other happy things that the business-types here like. The
rendering is done using FOP 0.20.5, so my question is relevant and two fold. The
first part is XSL-FO related, and the second part is FOP
related.
I'm wondering if it
would be possible for me to embed bitmap data directly into an XSL-FO document?
I'd like to query a logo out of my database and slap it right in there instead
of saving it to an external file first. I've seen the
"instream-foreign-object" tag and it seems promising but i haven't seen any use
of it, much less embedding a bitmap directly in the xml before rendering. Is
this possible? Has anyone done it?
The FOP-related
question is: Even if this is possible from an XSL-FO standpoint, is it possible
using FOP 0.20.5?
Deadlines are
looming. Answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
