I don't think it is good idea to use FO output from DocBook XSLT 2.0 
Stylesheets. IIRC, FO part wasn't completely finished and DocBook XSLT 
1.0 Stylesheets offer more in terms of FO output. And as development of 
DocBook XSLT 2.0 Stylesheets stopped couple years ago it is very 
unlikely that FO support will be improved.

Why you need to move away from XSLT 1.0 for FO output?

Hi,
 
 
 
I need to move away from 1.0 of XSLT but still need to stick with PDF and 
xslTNG is not a viable option for me atm (mainly issues with internal process 
of acquiring a CSS formatter but also the majority of my front matter is in FO 
and will  need to be refactored). Therefore, as an interim solution,  I am 
working on a customisation layer of DocBook XSLT 2.0 for FO output and want to 
align with the latest stable base.
 
 
 
I have been reviewing the DocBook XSLT 2.0 stylesheets and noticed something I 
would like to clarify. The latest tagged release on GitHub - 
docbook/xslt20-stylesheets 2.6.0 - dates from 2020. However, the CDN at 
https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl20/current/xslt/base/fo/ 
<https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl20/current/xslt/base/fo/> appears to 
contain newer content (e.g. a more complete autotoc.xsl module dated 2023).
 
 
 
Can anyone (Norm I guess) confirm whether the CDN "current" tree represents an 
official but untagged update beyond 2.6.0 or an intermediate build not yet 
formally released. Either way, is there  a packaged .zip/.tar.gz available?
 
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 

 
Nick
