stylesheet creation - visual editor or text editor?
Hi all We are approaching the XSL-FO standard, but my boss is quite skeptical about the way to define XSL stylesheets to get formatted contents out of our XML files. He's especially worried about the time-consuming translation of graphics (e.g. tables, boxes, labels...) in XSL-FO language. I am curious to know how you solved this primary issue: do you use a visual WYSIWYG editor or just an essential text editor? Thanks for the tips!

Re: stylesheet creation - visual editor or text editor?
Hi, i think for quick creation of stylesheets you could use a WYSIWYG editor, e.g. Altova StyleVision (problem is here, you can't reuse your old stylesheets). I use an text editor, but it's quite uncomfortable when you have large and complex stylesheets.

Hi , I am trying to create a style sheet so that the Header info appears only on page one. I want to know whether is it possible ? Appreciate your reply. Thanks and Regards Rohit - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: stylesheet creation - visual editor or text editor?
Hi, it's possible. You have to create different headers for first and rest pages. Regards Sven Example: fo:page-sequence master-reference=firstmaster !-- Header -- fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before xsl:copy-of select=$header_first / /fo:static-content !-- Header-End -- !-- Footer -- xsl:copy-of select=$footer / !-- Footer-End -- fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block xsl:call-template name=first / /fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence fo:page-sequence master-reference=master !-- Header -- fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before xsl:copy-of select=$header / /fo:static-content !-- Header-End -- !-- Footer -- xsl:copy-of select=$footer / !-- Footer-End -- fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block xsl:call-template name=first / /fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence xsl:variable name=header_first !-- Header -- /xsl:variable xsl:variable name=header !-- Header -- /xsl:variable [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi , I am trying to create a style sheet so that the Header info appears only on page one.

No wonder that you have same content on all pages.
You apply same template like above. You have to match different content for
different headers on pages.

Hi Stefano, We tried Stylesheetdesigner from Altova, its nice but you can´t change the generated fo source-code by hand :-( also XSLTFast ist really nice, but the same thing with the source editing. Finally we wrote some preformed template code. eg implement the basic components of your style-guide, like my Table-header always has a blue background and a height of 5px ... eg a major Footer looks like ac:fo_paragraph type=confident/ This line is transformed by a self written transformer to a fo:block section that says This information is confident! That works also with more complicated structures like tables and saves a lot of implementation time. mit freundlichen Grüßen / kind regards Manfred Weigel Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG ORG/IT - Software Development A-1030 Vienna, Am Stadtpark 9 |-+- | | | | |[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | | | |22.11.2004 12:38 | | |Bitte antworten an | | | fop-user | | | | |-+- -| | | |An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |Kopie: | |Blindkopie: | |Thema: stylesheet creation - visual editor or text editor? | -| Hi all We are approaching the XSL-FO standard, but my boss is quite skeptical about the way to define XSL stylesheets to get formatted contents out of our XML files.
