directly converting 'lt;' to html in .fo file
Hi all, Ready for this? I have an xml file which needs to be translated to a PDF using apache FOP. So far so good. Now, one element in the XML file actually contains a HTML fragment, which is stored in the XML file by replacing alle the '' and '/' with 'lt;' and 'gt;'. This replacement is automatically done by the JaxME Java databinding framework we use and occurs because the element is declared to by of type 'xsd:string' (standard string xml type). The element looks like this in the XML file: response_root_title lt;pgt;The 'gender' field is used internally to signal any reduced risks associated with the administrative issues which comply with the general policy of the company.lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Any additional gender specific parameters should lt;stronggt;notlt;/stronggt; be disclosed to other parties accept those involved in the completion of the current administrative process.lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Gender will lt;stronggt;notlt;/stronggt; be lt;emgt;discriminativelt;/emgt; regarding anything, but will be used to lt;emgt;differentiatelt;/emgt; everything.lt;/pgt; /response_root_title Now here's the problem. When I use FOP to generate the PDF, the 'lt;' and the like characters are all nicely restored to HTML tags. But this means that my PDF shows HTML tags. I don't want that. I want to apply an extra transformation in my .fo file so that during the FOP rendering, I can replace the HTML tags in the text fragment with their appropriate fo:XXX equivalent markup. For example: substitute strongABCD/strong with something like fo:font boldABCD/fo:font. In short, I need to: 1. extract the data from the xml element; 2. convert the XML escapes to '' and ''; 3. apply styles to the html. How do I do this? What is the approptiate XSL method to, e.g., capture output from a character-replace routine into a variable for later use? Hope You can help!

Re: directly converting 'lt;' to html in .fo file
Hi Bart, Perhaps you can escape the from lt; as well? So would become amp;lt; . I assume FOP would unescape amp; to , so you would subsequently get lt; passed from FOP. Note that I have no idea if FOP does recursive unescaping, but I assume it doesn't. If it does though, this trick won't help obviously.

Re: RE : directly converting 'lt;' to html in .fo file
Hi, Thanx for your reply. OK, so I need to: 1. Extract the element data from the html-holding element; 2. Convert the character escapes (should be do-able); 3. Replace the original data with the coverterd. Any thoughts on the XSL commands to do this? Thanx!!

version=1.0
xsl:template match=/
xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping=yes
select=path/to/html-holding/
/xsl:template
/xsl:transform
2a. Convert that HTML to well-formed XML.
For that, you can use a tool like HTMLTidy. See the W3C
web site, or Google.
3. Replace the original data with the coverterd.
Use a modified identity transformation to include the
well-formed document:
xsl:transform
xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform;
version=1.0
xsl:template match=@*|node()
xsl:copy
xsl:apply-templates select=@*|node()/
/xsl:copy
/xsl:template
xsl:template match=html-holding
xsl:copy-of select=document('converted.xml')/
/xsl:template
/xsl:transform
Any thoughts on the XSL commands to do this?
Such XSLT questions (as well as XPath questions BTW) would
be better asked on XSL List.

variable containing the page number
Hi I want to put the value of fo:page-number into a variable because i have different static-content depending on what page number it is. I want to use this variable to check what page number it is. Do anyone know how to do this? regards Eivind Andreassen. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I want to use this variable to check what page number it is. Do anyone know how to do this? Variables exist in the XSLT process, page-numbers exist only in XSL-FO-PDF generation. These are separate processes between which there is no state sharing. So what you asked for is not possible. Fortunately XSL-FO provides another means to achieve different static-content on different pages. Here is a snipper from the franklin_alt.fo file which is an example shipped with FOP: !-- layout for the first page -- fo:simple-page-master master-name=right page-height=21.7cm page-width=16cm margin-top=1cm margin-bottom=1cm margin-left=3.5cm margin-right=1.5cm fo:region-body margin-top=2cm margin-bottom=2cm/ fo:region-before extent=2cm/ fo:region-after extent=2cm/ /fo:simple-page-master fo:simple-page-master master-name=left page-height=21.7cm page-width=16cm margin-top=1cm margin-bottom=1cm margin-left=1.5cm margin-right=3.5cm fo:region-body margin-top=2cm margin-bottom=2cm/ fo:region-before extent=2cm/ fo:region-after extent=2cm/ /fo:simple-page-master fo:page-sequence-master master-name=alternating fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives maximum-repeats=no-limit fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference=right odd-or-even=odd / fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference=left odd-or-even=even / /fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives /fo:page-sequence-master Hopefully it gives you the idea.

Re: variable containing the page number
Hi, this thread has arised an interesting point for my project ... [...] So what you asked for is not possible. Fortunately XSL-FO provides another means to achieve different static-content on different pages. do you have any idea to realize this a little more complex? what i need is: the maximun repeats in dependency on the total number of pages. i'm creating booklets with 4,8,12,16 pages and every two last pages has to be single pages. something like: fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives maximum-repeats=pages - 2 [...] /... fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference=before-last/ fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference=last/ i know how to set the last page in a page repeat loop, but the pages before last? thanks! gregor - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So you want a different static-content on the last front side? something like: fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives maximum-repeats=pages - 2 [...] /... fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference=before-last/ fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference=last/ I don't think this is possible unless you know the exact page number :( What needs to change in the static content for the last front side? If its just different text then you can achieve this using markers. snip/ Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
