you might also try something like: xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]" !-- do your operation here -- /xsl:template the brackets "perform" the test. the "|" serves as logical OR, but to make sure your XML definitly contains the node with some attribute, put some

Hi Yvonne, XSL FOain't no wordprocessing application, as you might guess already. It is for block-oriented layout definitions targeted at formatters like FOP. If you need something aligned, you must basically put it in a fo:block structure and assign attributes like text-align="left",

Try the appropriate Unicode Escape Sequence. Something like #x00A3; might help. At least it works for the Euro Sign (#x20AC;) for me. markus -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Ian Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Datum: Mittwoch, 29. Mai 2002 13:14 Betreff:

Hi Ismaeil, I think Bhawana suggested: DB-JDBC-XML-XSL-FO-FOP-PDF, this includes the additional xml document representation, but puts the XSL:FO instructions outside your java, which would by bypassed by java generated FO documents (your below mentioned construction) It probably boils down to an

Patrick, don't be silly ;-). In my opinion XML via XSL FO to PDF is _the_ missing link between databases and printable documents. Of course it's the transformation that matters, but without actual implementation like the FO namespace you don't get far. markus -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-

Hi, don't know about S.O Unix (are you talking about SCO?), but if you have problems with pathnames, try putting your true-type font, your userconfig.xml and everything, where your xml/xsl/fo resides and drop the pathnames at all. markus -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Carlos Daniel
