Hi Ben, Cooktop does a lot of what you propose here but unfortunately it is windows only. Have a look at www.xmlcooktop.com. BTW this gadget is free and you can add a lot of functionality (templates, XSL/XML code snippets) easily and you have a choice of all kinds of XSLT/FO processors (and you

Hi, Not sure about the width=100% but number-columns-spanned is supported for a while now. But in general: is there a simple thing like a fo:block with just some text in the fo file? If there is and this text is not shown than it would seem to me that the problem is something else. Perhaps no

Hi, In a previous project we had to build around 350 reports in HTML, all from XML generated bij JPSs. We decided to write an XSL library that had a number of templates to build several parts of the report (ie. HTML and XSL code). Worked like a charm and all the specific reports consisted of

RE: fo document as output

2002-01-15 Thread Michiel Verhoef
You could use Xalan, the xslt processor used in fop, to do the transformation fromxml to fo. After changing the fo document you can call fop to produce the pdf. But that is probably just a workaround. Perhaps you can check the fop source code for calls to Xalan? Just my $0.02, Michiel

Yep, the function is called concat. simply call : concat (string1, string2, ... , stringn) You can mix variables, strings etc. BTW: this is an XSLT thiing rather than XSLFO. For more information on concat and other XSLT functions: http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTreference/Output/index.html HTH,

If all else fails: you could try to use the XSLT debugger from VBXML.com to make sure your XSLT proces is correct (i.e. you actually produce the FO needed/wanted). Next, simply call FOP and check the PDF. You don't need to learn Java to use FOP (actually, I hardly know any java at all). What

Hi Sunitha, That's what the XSLT part comes in: the Xalan classes are available with fop so you can use these (together with an XSLT style sheet) to convert XML to PDF. Check http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html to see how to call fop with such a style sheet and let fop (or rather Xalan)

Like I said, the RTF2FO tool is still a bit primitive but at the moment I am not sure whether it is the FO file produced or my version of fop (0.18). I have to look into this tool a bit more. If it is the FO produced the tool might benefit from some good FO examples. Michiel $ -Original

Hi, First, there is a weird d element in your last table. I'm no XHTML expert but it is not HTML AFAIK. Second, some of the tr are missing td elements. A tr needs a td (at least, in HTML it does) so my guess is that your XHTML is not valid HTML. Any xsl that converts valid HTML to say, fo will

Just a thought but what you seem to want is the XML file processed by XSL (which can be on disk). Have you checked the docs/examples for Xalan, the XSLT processor oncluded with FOP? Because that is what you've been asking for: how dow I process my XML file using my XSLT stylesheet. Sorry, no
