You are talking about XSLT stylesheet, which transforms your custom XML to HTML - that's trivial XSLT task, you don't need neither FOP nor XSL-FO for it. That is what I was asking for. I could certainly go and implement whatever parts of a stylesheet that are required for the minimal usage of FOP's instructions that I am using, but it seems hard to believe that this requirement hasn't come up before, and someone else out there hasn't done it. You still don't understand. XSLT stylesheet able to transform XML into *any* other XML vocabulary or HTML and from this variety of output XML vocabularies FOP deals *only* with XSL-FO vocabulary. FOP is XSL-FO processor and has nothing to do with html. Don't get mixed up, FOP and XSLT processor are different things despite the fact that FOP includes XSLT processor. -- Oleg Tkachenko Multiconn Technologies, Israel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
html output format
Hey all, I've spent a couple of hours searching for this with no luck, so feel justified in asking here now. If this is a really stupid question (read my post first), feel free to point it out (o: I have a requirement to edit a document, and then print it. The requirement had been just to print the document, with some basic merge functionality - so I implemented that using FOP for the printing side of it. Now that I need to edit it, my thought had been that I'd just go FOP - html - ekit (html editor) - html - html2fo - FOP - PCL long winded, but seems reasonable, basically all I'd have to do is some plumbing. Now, my question for the list is about going from FOP - html. I cant believe there isn't a standard html output or xsl stylesheet. Most of my searching has come up with answers along the lines of it'd be better to take the initial xml that you use for generating the .fo and applying XSL to that to make html that way. However, I dont have any initial xml, and besides, I dont see why the document shouldn't be stored in FOP (I need to save the lf as well as the data). So, is there somewhere I can find a simple straight forward html output, or even just a stylesheet? I'm convinced it must already exist. Look forward to any suggestions/answers. Please cc me as I'm subscribed in digest mode. cheers dim ps - putting 'html' in a search criteria on the web is almost pointless (o: - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
