Hi Murali,
You're mixing a couple of things up. For any input to be processed with
an XSLT stylesheet, it must first of all by XML (that is: "well-formed"
XML). If it it isn't well-formed, it cannot be processed (regardless of
the application: any application that says it works with XML will only
do so if it is well-formed).
Your input doesn't comply to the well-formed rules. The opening tag is
not closed. The entities are not declared (it doesn't matter that they
are inside a text block in some XSLT file, that is useless and won't
make a source file compliant). One way to make the entities declared is
by adding an html doctype. The best match, in your case, seems XHTML
Transitional. Once you've declared it, you'll see that your "XML" (html)
has some other oddities that make it invalid (i.e., a <table> tag inside
a <p> tag, the <html> tag not closed, the <head> tag missing a <title>
tag).
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
If you would choose something else than XHTML (i.e., one of the older
html variants), it is a lot harder to also make the document XML
well-formed.
Once you get the source straightened out, you can try to process it with
an XSLT processor (and possibly also an XSL-FO processor after that).
If you do not have the possibility to alter the source, then there are
tools around that make an educated guess at what the errant designer of
the HTML might have wanted and transforms it into XHTML on the fly.
These tools (I forgot the name at the moment) try to mimic the behavior
of popular browsers in interpreting any input and always outputting
something (but this is of course a path that may very well lead to
unpleasant surprises).
If you have question regarding XSLT or XSL-FO I can advice you to try
the excellent XSLT list at http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/.
This list is more appropriate for Apache FOP related questions.
HTH,

Hi,
I am trying to to transform HtML to FO file using xalan but while
transforming i am getting this following exception:-
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: The entity
"nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.
Actually the HTML file is generated by an editor .and contains lots
and lots of
In the XSL file , <!ENTITY nbsp; "&#160;"> is
already declared within the <xsl:text> tags .So, what should I do
now.Please help! HTML and xsl files are attached with this mail.
Thanks in anticipation,
