Yes, but not out of the box (because there is no demand for this feature). If you are really motivated, you can always create a configuration for .fo files in order to do that. See "XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment" -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/index.html > 2) Output styling requires stylesheet changes to pass docbook attributes > to produce the appropriate fo output.

For now, XMLmind XML Editor (and also XMLmind XSL Utility; see below) can be used to easily parameterize the XSLT stylesheets. However normal users generally cannot find by themselves which parameters (e.g. paper.type=A4) to change. We plan to add to XMLmind XML Editor (and also to XMLmind XSL Utility) a facility which would allow to easily modify the contents of attribute-sets without having to tweak configuration files. However this feature is not planned before several months. > Thoughts on the above? We are really sorry for this sad situation, but we don't think this problem is specific to our products. M.

Suffice to choose one the conversions called "foToXXX". Example: "foToPDF".
