    Hi,

    Imagine a bill, or an order form, with many columns and more than a page. If
I transform that into HTML, when the user prints maybe the result don't fit the
paper, and what about with many pages and I want to put parcial totals at the
bottom of every page. Can you see the problem? I suppose the best way, as you
said below, is to transform the XML into PDF with FOP, for instance. Where can I
begin to learn more about XSL-FO?, I've downloaded FOP, has anybody examples,
both simples and complex ones, to see where FOP can reach to?

    Thanks in advanced, if anybody has examples of FO documents that runs on
FOP, please send me someones.

    Omar
