and the XSL file:
<fo:block text-align="left" start-indent="5mm" space-before="2mm" font-size="12px" color="#000000" 
font-family="Arial, Helvetica, sans" font-weight="normal">
        <xsl:value-of select="HTBodyText" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</fo:block>
The embedded directives are only processed by FOP when I do this:
1. Run the xslt saving the output to a file
2. Pass the file to FOP for processing.
However, if I do it all together, either by using XMLSpy or in my servlet, the output ALL comes out as text.
XML Spy process it exactly as you are saying - transform into a file and run 
FOP.bat on this file.
By it's nature disable-output-escaping assumes that result of the 
transformation is serialized and reparsed again, that's why it doesn't work in 
FOP as in any SAX streaming environment.
Remember gold rule of xslt - don't use d-o-e unless you are generating 
non-XML. Why do you need it?
