Hi fopit, I see. Instead of rendering a pdf you want a text file. Or RTF? I think, I read something lately about discontinuing the rtf functionality because nobody uses it, but I leave the topic to the experts, since I only render to pdf. Maybe you could post a shortened fo file and the text file so the experts can actually see what's wrong.

I explain : I have indeed an XML file, and an XSL file, that create an FO file, which I use to create a PDF, with FOP. Without any problem. But I want to use the same XSL file, and so, the same FO file, to create a plain-text document, that will be a kind of a viewer of the PDF for the user. And using FOP is not a success, for I only have what correspond to the beginning of my PDF. To resume, I want, from the same XSL, to have a PDF and a plain-text documents, where the plain-text is not as "beautiful" as the pdf. I successly create the pdf, but, in the text-version, I only have the beginning of it. Is it clearer? Thanks Georg Datterl wrote: > > Hello fopit, > > I'm not sure I understand what you want.
