For instance, as an example, if I want PDF to show XML content, and I start from XML and XSL then I put this in the XML file: <example> <![CDATA[ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo= <http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format> "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master margin="2cm" page-width="21.0cm" page-height="29.7cm" master-name="A4-portrait"> <fo:region-body /> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4-portrait"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block>Hello World!</fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> ]]> </example> and something like this in the XSL file: <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="example" /> </fo:block> <xsl:template match="example"> <fo:block font-size="12pt" linefeed-treatment="preserve" white-space-treatment="preserve" white-space-collapse="false" font-family="monospace"> <xsl:value-of select="." /> </fo:block> </xsl:template> Then fop -xml example.xml -xsl example.xsl -pdf example.pdf generates a PDF with the example you see above inside the <![CDATA[]]>. If you are working with FO, then you can use the above example and fop -xml example.xml -xsl example.xsl -foout example.fo to see how it should look like: <fo:block font-family="monospace" white-space-collapse="false" white-space-treatment="preserve" linefeed-treatment="preserve" font-size="12pt"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo= <http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format> "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master margin="2cm" page-width="21.0cm" page-height="29.7cm" master-name="A4-portrait"> <fo:region-body /> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4-portrait"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block>Hello World!</fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> </fo:block> On 2/21/12 11:35 PM, Craig Christophersen wrote: I am encountering xml processing instructions in textual content. Example: " <para> text con<?Pub Caret?>tent here </para>" The resulting pdf from using FOP is " text con" followed by content from the next element. The remainder of the text content following the processing instruction "tent here" is left out. Is this a bug? Is there something I can configure in FOP config.xml to handle this? Processing instructions are allowed in textual content of xml elements. Using FOP 1.0, Windows 7, JDK 1.6.0_26 Craig Christophersen Software Developer Synesis7 crai...@synesis7.com
