Dynamic Header in Page Sequence [region-before]
Hi XSL FOP Developers, I want to ask if it is possible to have a dynamic Header implemented in a Page-Sequence. something like ... fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-start fo:block font-size=16pt font-weight=bold font-family=sans-serif xsl:text From: /xsl:text xsl:value-of select=@tableStart/ xsl:text To: /xsl:text xsl:value-of select=@tableStart/ /fo:block /fo:static-content fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-body !-- XSL FO code to process the xml goes here... -- !-- This body content gets page header using the xsl-region-start above -- !-- Is is possible to have a different header for this/each page -- !-- depending on the data being processed eg. let's say we have a xml having car schema -- !-- would it be possible to have the page header vary depending on the car detail being displayed ??? -- !-- (assuming each car gets displayed on its own page i.e. separate page for each car) -- /fo:static-content Assuming an XML like :- Vehicle type=4 wheel drive car category=sedan !-- Car details here... -- /car car category=sports !-- Car details here... -- /car /Vehicle Any ideas ? Is there a better way to achieve the same results ? Any helps/hints/suggestions appreciated. Thanks!, Dharmendra

Re: Pipe XSLT Transform to FOP
Could anyone point me in the right direction of how I could transform my XML to PDF without creating an intermediate file? send your XML to a PipedOutputStream pos and use an InputSource(pos.getInputStream()) make your XML thing a Thread and start() it.

RE: HTML to PDF using FOP
First: please use text only mails and NO backgrounds! They cause mails to be unneccessary huge.. Now, wrt your question: yes, as long as you manage to convert the HTML to fo. If the HTML is well formed (so, in effect is XML) you may use XSLT, otherwise you need another programming language to do this for you.

Re: Dynamic Header in Page Sequence [region-before]
Sharan, You can use marker and retrieve marker. The header has to be variable depending on the contents of the page. Example follows. Retrieve marker retrieves whatever you put within the fo:marker tags. Those contents are not output on the page. Also, your code used region-start, you want region-before. You used static-content instead of fo:flow. fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before fo:block font-size=16pt font-weight=bold font-family=sans-serif xsl:text Car: /xsl:text fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name=car-category retrieve-boundary=page retrieve-position=first-starting-within-page/ /fo:block /fo:static-content fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body xsl:for-each select=/car fo:blockfo:marker marker-class-name=car-categoryxsl:value-of select=Car/@category//fo:marker xsl:value-of select=@name/ . . . /fo:block /fo:flow Chuck Sharan, Dharmendra wrote: Hi XSL FOP Developers, I want to ask if it is possible to have a dynamic Header implemented in a Page-Sequence. something like ... fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-start fo:block font-size=16pt font-weight=bold font-family=sans-serif xsl:text Car: /xsl:text xsl:value-of select=Car/@category/ /fo:block /fo:static-content fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-body !-- XSL FO code to process the xml goes here... -- !-- This body content gets page header using the xsl-region-start above -- !-- Is is possible to have a different header for this/each page -- !-- depending on the data being processed eg. let's say we have a xml having car schema -- !-- would it be possible to have the page header vary depending on the car detail being displayed ??? -- !-- (assuming each car gets displayed on its own page i.e. separate page for each car) -- /fo:static-content Assuming an XML like :- Vehicle type=4 wheel drive car category=sedan !-- Car details here... -- /car car category=sports !-- Car details here... -- /car /Vehicle Any ideas ?

Jeremias Maerki [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The only place where Xerces is directly imported is the PFMReader and TTFReader. Ok, Driver, when startet using the command line, uses Xerces by default, but nothing prevents you from using any JAXP parser with FOP. Stuff matching org.apache.x* in 0.20.2: ...Driver.java parserClassName = org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser; ...PFMReader.java org.apache.xerces.dom.*; org.apache.xml.serialize.*; org.apache.xalan.xslt.*; ...TTFReader.java dto. ...fop.layout.hyphenation.PatternParser.java parserClassName = org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser; ...fop.tools.anttasks.CompileXMLFiles.java parserClassName = org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser; ...fop.tools.xslt.Xalan1Transform.java org.apache.xalan.xslt.*; ...fop.tools.xslt.XSLTransform.java Class.forName(org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessor); I believe all this stuff could be replaced by JAXP 1.1 standard functionality. This means FOP could also be build with any JAXP 1.1 compatible XML/XSL library. This would also get rid of some unfortunate dependencies from Driver.getParserClassName() (why not use SAXParserFactory.newSAXParser().getXMLReader() instead and let the library handle all the annoying stuff? At the same time, validation could be switched off, gaining some performance in rare cases). I could try to prepare patches, however: - Is there a chance to get them into the maintenance branch? (there is a feature freeze pending, AFAIK) - Last time i tried i was not able to build FOP successfully, because of an odd ant incompatibility problem i didn't (and still don't) have time to resolve. This means i can only try basic compilation, someone else would have to finalize the patch. (Crossposted to fop-dev) Regards J.Pietschmann
Re: Getting system-time
meena, do you want to measure the xsl-fo transformation time? then you might use fop with the -d option, which outputs it with some other data. costantino Chuck Paussa [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] s.dhl.com cc: Subject: Re: Getting system-time 12.02.2002 16:56 Please respond to fop-user Meena, You'll have to use an XSL extension function and use an XSL processor that implements that function. The most standard date implementation is the one offered by EXSLT. xsl:stylesheet version=1.0 xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform; xmlns:date=http://exslt.org/dates-and-times; extension-element-prefixes=date . . . xsl:value-of select=date:date-time()/ The only xsl processor that implements this internally that I know of is Saxon by Mike Kay Chuck Meena wrote: Hi, Is there anyway to find the time taken to run an xsl file(something that will give the overall time for execution at the end of completion of the program) Regds, Meena **Disclaimer Information contained in this E-MAIL being proprietary to Wipro Limited is 'privileged' and 'confidential' and intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

Making FO
Hi all Does anybody know any good tool for convertingHTML (or rtf, or doc) to FO. I have tried html2fo, which I had found on sourceforge.net, but it doesn't understand styles and some tags. Maybe anybody know a better tool? Aleksei Vassiljev
Re: HTML to PDF using FOP
Major problem i found is converting the table tag cause fop requires you to define the column size before you use it and if i am using html just looking at it i cannot figure out how many columns i have for the table.

xslt was created for doing just this. it's a very important technology and there are finally some good books on it. Does anybody know any good tool for converting HTML (or rtf, or doc) to FO.

Borders not displaying
Hi again, For my next question, can anyone tell me what could be wrong with the following. It doesn't seem to display any borders. Is this a problem with FOP or with me? I've followed the reference manual as closely as I can. fo:block border-before-color=blue border-before-width=2px border-after-color=blue border-after-width=2px border-start-color=blue border-start-width=2px border-end-color=blueborder-end-width=2px You have been selected for special high intensity training. /fo:block Grateful for any assistance. Many thanks. -- Best, Stephen
How to use keep-together?
Hi, Sorry to bother you all again. This should be the last question for a while. I've been trying to get keep-together=always to work. I've tried it on blocks, inlines and on blocks surrounding blocks. Nothing seems to make any difference, yet the FOP parser doesn't complain about the code. Again, I just want to know whether it's me or FOP. This would be a very nice feature to have implimented in FOP. It *does* seem to be in the pdf documentation that came with FOP. Just for completeness, here's some code I'm trying. block keep-together=always space-after=0.5emThis is a test with keep-together inline keep-together=always Indignor quicquam reprehendi, non quia crasse compositum illepedeve putetur, sed quia nuper, nec veniam antiquis, sed honorem et praemia posci. Recte necne crocum floresque perambulet Attae fabula si dubitem, clament periisse pudorem cuncti paene patres, ea cum reprehendere coner, quae gravis Aesopus, quae doctus Roscius egit; vel quia nil rectum, nisi quod placuit sibi, ducunt, vel quia turpe putant parere minoribus, et quae imberbes senes. /inline /block It just carries on splitting regardless. ( Any ideas? -- Best, Stephen
