Input Question
Hello; My current system runs a XSL to create an FO document in memory. This is what I submit to FOP to render with. The issue I am dealing with is sometime content inserted into the FO document by the XSL contains HTML. Right now I strip out all HTML before submitting the content to FOP. But the HTML contains some formatting instructions that I am sure someone is going to want to see in the PDF (font size, bolding, list, etc). My solution to this now would be to handle each formatting html tag separately (I would have a defined list to deal with, all other would be stripped), finding it in the input and replacing it with an FO tag that would perform the same operation. Is there any easier way? Thanks, Luke - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you look on Dave Pawson's excellent XSL FAQ page[1], you might even find some xsl:template examples to get you going. Check out some of the XSL resources on the FOP Resources page[2] for more info. That said, you'll probably want to create XSL templates for the attributes you care about, so you can use XSL to convert font-size, bold, list, etc. into their fo:block @.. equivalents: e.g., btext-content/b = fo:inline font-weight=boldtext-content/fo:inline [1] http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/index.html [2] http://xml.apache.org/fop/resources.html Web Maestro Clay -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://homepage.mac.com/webmaestro/ My religion is simple.

Re: Input Question
Thanks for all the help over the last week. I just gave a small demo of the PDF rendering feature of the site and it looked good. Some formating issues to resolve but the framework is in place.
