thanks sai, yeah i feel the same.. but my problem is if user format text on editor it generates different tags and there attributes differently and if user cut and paste some text from word or any other aplication it generates different tags and with different attributes... And i will not be knowing upfront what user going to do.. paste it or format on editor itself so thats why i was thinking to generate XSL at run time but i am not getting any info regarding this... and i am concluding that client has to specify the format at least in advance to generate PDF.... But FCKeditor does not limit on formatting text... and user can do anything... anyway it is really nice of all of u to come forward to help me.. I will update you guys if i find any new solution to this problem. thanks rgds amit

Instead I would suggest to know all the HTML tags that FCKeditor generates. I am pretty sure it will be an almost equalent set of normal HTML tags. And once you know the those tags, write XSL templates to convert XML (call it XHTML or HTML in well formed XML format) generated by FCKeditor into FOs, and finally call FOP api to generate PDF.

I was facing problem with ITEXT as they dont support all the HTML tags and for generating PDF i had to write HTMLparser which i have done and am successful to generate PDF .. ... but the problem is that i am using FCKeditor as my internet editor where i can do formatting of text just like word doc... and it returns me string of html elements .. I have used this string to generate HTML doc and then xml. FCKeditor generates tags and there attributes which are not supported in ITEXT and i have to handle them in my HTML parser. I will lose format of text in my PDF as i am not aware what all tags and attributes FCKeditor will generate at run time.. So i decided to shift to FOP ..... hoping that it would suffice my needs ... so my situation is i have to parse this xml document which is generated at run time and i feel/think i will require to generate XSL at run time and then using the example i can generate XSL-FO and then set up driver of fop to generate PDF using FOP... Here i m stuck as i am not getting a way to generate XSL at run time... all help appreciated.... thanks for reply again. regards amit ________________________________ From: Luke Shannon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 1/20/2005 12:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Query Hi Amit; I am also a newbie. I can tell you that a good place to start is the examples section that comes with the FOP download. Specifically the example ExampleXML2FO.java (fop-0.20.5\examples\embedding\java\embedding).
