FOP (*) is passed a single file to process. This known as XSL-FO. (or often just FO) It contains all such measurements. The stylesheet is applied during the preparation of the FO file. This is not (**) done by FOP but by another processor, eg xsltproc, Saxon, Xalan. Such programs do also take a stylesheet as parameter, and combine the stylesheet data with the source data (eg DocBook). The output is XSL-FO (or html, or various other possibilities). The stylesheet that is used to produce the XSL-FO contains the default margins etc that you refer to. It writes these into the FO. Hope that help, Richard. (*) Or any other FO processor (ie XSL-FO to PDF convertor). (**) Actually I think FOP can be requested to do this process too, but is not usually used in that way. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
