Thank you, Tom, I find it interesting.

I would not refer to a stylesheet as a script, which connotes a procedural
set of commands. Stylesheets, HTML, etc, are typically called markup. This
is a very minor comment.

I need to create a XML stylesheet pretty soon for a project I'm working on,
so I will review st as a part of my self-training when the time comes.

Hi,

to get a little bit in touch with FOP, I started a project for  
formatting scientific texts with FO. It's just something like a

Please feel free to send me critics, ideas or whatever.


Interesting. Your manual itself is a nice showcase. :-)

Considering the TODO about color-schema, maybe the cleanest solution  
would be to use a generic color element, to which the authors can  
then add an attribute, like:


color color-value=redRed Text/color

This can then be transformed with

xsl:template match=[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  fo:wrapper color=[EMAIL PROTECTED]
xsl:apply-templates /
  /fo:wrapper
/xsl:template

Note that this means that authors would also be able to specify a  
color using the rgb() function, which would be passed to and resolved  
by FOP. For example: color color-value=rgb(255, 0, 0)Red Text/ 
color


FOP will warn if an invalid color-specification is used, but the  
processing will continue and the inherited color will be used, so it  
does little harm to leave that up to the eventual users of your  
stylesheet.



Cheers,

Andreas

OK, certainly you are right. I'll change it!

Feel free to use it as you like: And, perhaps, it would be nice if you 
can give back some of your code(or: styles ..) :-)


Best,

Tom

This is a great suggestion! Thank you, I'll do it that way!
