Serialization of the intermediate result may fubar the whole thing,
if you use disable-outpur-escaping, output indentation and perhaps
a few other unpleasant tricks.

because that is an XSLT transformation

bye

   it's not mentioned in the online help, so i just wanted
 to verify that there's no XML - FO transform supported
 by FOP, which would allow me to examine the intermediate
 FO before going on to generate the final PDF.  
 
   is this the case?

oh, i understand that.  it's just that, since FOP already supports
XML+XSL - FO, it must already be invoking what i assume is
xalan/xerces underneath to generate the FO, yes?

i assume that i could always invoke xalan directly to do the
XSLT transformation, but it would just have been convenient
if FOP supported that directly from the command line.

no big deal.

FOP supports FO-PDF. My impression is it does not support XML+XSL-FO.

Starting with FOP 0.20.5rc2 FOP contains a xalan.bat to do just that.

thanks for the pointer to xalan.bat.

p.s.  and on another note, i'm just getting back to seeing
how well FOP supports docbook, as i'm about to start converting
a bunch of courseware manuals into docbook.

if anyone out there has been heavily involved with FOP and
docbook, drop me a line.

Your assumption is almost certainly true, but the easiest way to make sure
is to use the xalan.bat to produce the fo file, then use fop.bat to convert
that fo file (not the original xml file) to your output format.
