OpenOffice and fop

Hi folks, I have been looking at using Open Office as a crude XML editor for people used to Wordprocessors. It generates a bunch of XML files all zipped up. Anyway the XML generated has some fields which look surprisingly like "FO". Has anyone looked at this and seen whether this would work well

Re: Draw Lines between Images..

Yep, That is what I meant. You are basically creating a big vector graphic with several bitmap images inside it. Once you have the SVG you can either serve it directly if your clients have the SVG plugin (unlikely) or embed it inside XSL:FO If you look at the specs for XSL:FO they mostly talk a

HTML+CSS -> XSL:FO

Sorry for asking a question which I know is already in my FAQ but I have a colleague who needs to render HTML *with* CSS to PDF. I am wondering whether we have anything like a web browser which outputs XSL:FO yet. Does anyone use one? My instant reaction is to say convert to XML instead of HTML,

Hello Denis, I suggest that you ask this sort of question on the fop-user mailing list. Please join it. I have copied it to them to see if anyone can help. What diagnosis have you tried? What version of fop are you using? Does it work with any other renderer - eg to PDF? What operating system?

Schema to XSL:FO

Has anyone produced a stylesheet which takes an XML schema and converts it into XSL:FO for pretty printing perhaps via SVG? Rather than use Visio to document my xml fragment examples I think it would be best if I could produce a diagram from the schema itself. Alex Openweb Analysts Ltd, London
