Really what you are doing is exactly right. If I have a document that
looks like this:
<doc>
<section type="svg">
<svg id="body" width="21cm" height="13.5cm"
viewBox="0 0 210 135" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
<title>Example 1</title>
<desc>
Rectangle with red border and light blue interior.
</desc>
<rect x="10" y="20" width="150" height="70"
fill="#eeeeff" stroke="red" stroke-width="1" />
</svg>
</section>
</doc>
Your XSLT file should look like:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
version="1.1"
>
<xsl:template match="/">
<!--create your pages, etc-->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]'svg']">
<fo:instream-foreign-object>
<xsl:copy-of select="svg:svg"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If you are going to be doing any amount of processing with XML, it
will really help you to join the Mulberry mailing list and to get a
good book on XSLT. I have *XSLT Quickly* by Bob DuCharme, which
helped me use XSLT right away, and it still serves as my main
reference. There are of course a lot of other good books.
