Hi Jimmy
Which program generated this xml? The vendor may supply the appropriate
xsl transform file for html and fo (for pdf). The xml looks simple, if
the software vendor cant supply this xsl, you'll have to write one
yourself, or ask someone nicely to do it for you :) . Then you need a
tool to take xml and xsl, and spit out html or fo. When you have the fo,
you need another tool (fop) to make pdf's from it.
The xml doesnt look like docbook or anything to me, it would be fairly
trivial to whip up a basic xsl to transform it.
I have no idea what a good tool would be, but where I work, we use
xsltproc :
http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc2.html
There is a command line windows version also. We also use a java servlet
I wrote to do thias sort of thing, depending on the app. You would go
xsltproc yourxslfile.xsl PTPIERREA4.xml -o transformedfile.fo
Hopefulyl I have been able to help, the other people in this list may
know more. This isnt really the place to ask though, this mailing list
is for fop users. Maybe the vendors who provide the software that
produced the xml in the first place would be able to help you better.
Good luck :)

Greetings,
I am not a programmer, so when I encounter the type of problem that I
will expose, I am ever so grateful :-)
I have a report per machine and the report can only be saved in XML.
I would like to now convert the report in whatever, HTML, DOC, PDF,
spreadsheet etc. The issue is that I need to be able to exploit it.
I have posted the report on my site:
http://www.cisware.co.uk/xmlproblem it’s only 20 K
Anybody could give me a tool to just convert this thing? I am fluent
in English/French….
Best wishes,
Jimmy

Named after its country of origin 'England', English is a little known dialect
used by up to 1.5 billion non-Americans worldwide. Some interesting but
obviously incorrect features of the language include:
- queues of people
- wonderful coloUrs
- the useful metal aluminIum
- the exotic herbs (h-urbs), basil (ba-zil) and oregano (o-re-gaa-no)
- specialiSed books called 'dictionaries' that tell you how to spell words
correctly
Many people using this bizarre gutter speak also subscribe to the pagan belief
that water freezes at 0 degrees and that distances should be measured in the
forbidden mathematical system of base-10...
