RE: xml with html in it -> pdf issue

[Louis . Masters]

I think you just need something as simple as:


<xsl:template match="p">
        <fo:block >
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

This will create a block area for your paragraph tags.  Modify the block 
as you need.
