This example triggers a bug in FOP 0.20.3 It uses
fo:marker, which is broken. Don't use it.
Follow-up: It works in the final distribution of
FOP 0.20.3. Download and install the final distribution.
You have probably a fop-0.20.3rc or fop-0.20.3rc2
installed.

Yes, I had fop-0.20.3rc2.
It worked fine with xslfoRef.xml and xml2pdf.xsl btw.

Thanks for the help,
Roland.

Jenny,
1. To convert an XML to PDF, you'll need a properly coded  XSL document. 
(For instance, see if you can run the glossary example in 
../examples/markers

command line =  fop -xsl glossary.xsl -xml glossary.xml -pdf glossary.pdf 
2. Display the results in a web page. Look at the instructions in 
http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html

3. Actually pulling it off. You'll need to study some
XSL tutorials like the one at http://www.arbortext.com/xsl/
FO tutorial like the one at http://www.renderx.com/tutorial.html

Hi,
I just successfully run the examples (simple.fo) provided in 
'fop-0.20.3-bin.tar.gz' file under fop-0.20.3\docs\examples\fo 
subdirectory in the command prompt and I got a pdf file successfully . 
I still have the following question:

1. How can I view the source code for this example?
2. I also looked over all the rest of the folders included in 
'fop-0.20.3' and there are a lot other folders like design, 
html-docs(some .html files in it), xml-docs(some xml files in it), 
etc.  What are all those files used for? 

3. Actually what I want to do is:  convert a XML file to PDF file and 
display this PDF file on the web page. How to do this?

I am new to this and really like to have your advices and help.  So if 
you could provide further information, I would appreciate it very much.

Jenny
