Xalan is implementation of XSLT. Output format is XML, HTML or TEXT. If PDF is TEXT file, I can imagine XSLT script which can transform FO to PDF. Am I right? Therefore I am looking for such fo2pdf.xslt script. What do you think? Is it reasonable?
Then I can imagine DocBook to PDF transformation as sequence of two transformations: xxx.dbx & docbook2fo.xsl => xxx.fo & fo2pdf.xsl => xxx.pdf. Is not it nice? Thanks for your comments.
