Weird behaviour of Apache fop

Hi all, Currently we have a weird problem: when converting an XML file (or rather, an XML-ified HML source) to a FO file and converting this resulting FO file to a PDF all things are fine. However, when we try to convert the XML with the exact same XSL script into a PDF we get errors: [INFO]:

2002-06-17 Thread Michiel Verhoef
AFAIK you do not need a DTD at all to convert XML or FO files to PDF. However, when writing an XSLT stylesheet to convert XML to FO a DTD or Schema might come in handy. Cheers, Michiel $ -Original Message- $ From: Max Dcosta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ Sent: maandag 17 juni 2002 11:57

Did you try to run the transformation (XML XSL) without generating a PDF? If that doesn't produce any output your PDF will be empty. $ -Original Message- $ From: chandrakant_binwani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ Sent: donderdag 6 juni 2002 10:42 $ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ Subject: Problem

Let me see, part of this problem is XSL(T), part of the problem is how to pass the result to Acrobat, right? At the moment I'm pretty busy solving a little problem over here but I'll get back with a style sheet bit to extract the stylesheetname from the XML file (that should be possible, or am I

RE: Passing Parameters at the Command Line

2002-03-20 Thread Michiel Verhoef
I'm not 100% certain but to me it looks like testXSLT is actually a call to Xalan. It is possible to call Xalan with parameters, using the -parameter switch. fop calls Xalan itself but has AFAIK no possibility to pass parameters to Xalan. A work around might be to write a shell script that calls

First: please use text only mails and NO backgrounds! They cause mails to be unneccessary huge.. Now, wrt your question: yes, as long as you manage to convert the HTML to fo. If the HTML is well formed (so, in effect is XML) you may use XSLT, otherwise you need another programming language to do
