[xsl] Need help with XSL-FO

[Sandra Mcdonnell <smcdonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, thank you all for the help you've given me already this week.

I am using XML Spy and attempting a transformation to render my XML as a 
PDF. XML Spy uses Xalan and FOP. I created the following  XSL based on a 
terrific article by Doug Tidwell. I am an ABSOULTE BEGINNER and can't 
figure out why I keep getting errors.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
  
   <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
   <xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:processing-instruction name="cocoon-format" type="text/xslfo"/>
  
   <xsl:template match="/">
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:template>

<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
       <fo:layout-master-set>
           <fo:simple-page-master master-name="standard">
               <fo:region-body region-name="body" extent="1.1in" 
page-width="8.5in" page-height="11in" margin-top="1in" 
margin-bottom="1in" margin-left="1in" margin-right="1in"/>
               <fo:region-before extent=".75in"/>
           </fo:simple-page-master>
       </fo:layout-master-set>
       <fo:page-sequence master-reference="standard">
           <fo:flow flow-name="body">
               <xsl:apply-templates select="Head1"/>
               <xsl:apply-templates select="Head2"/>
               <xsl:apply-templates select="para"/>
           </fo:flow>
       </fo:page-sequence>
   </fo:root>

   <!-- Template to apply to all Head1 nodes -->
   <xsl:template match="Head1">
       <fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="16pt" 
space-before.minimum="12pt" space-after="12pt">
           <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </fo:block>
   </xsl:template>
   <!-- Template to apply to all Head2 nodes -->
   <xsl:template match="Head2">
       <fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="14pt" 
space-before.minimum="12pt" space-after="12pt">
           <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </fo:block>
   </xsl:template>
   <!-- Template to apply to all para nodes -->
   <xsl:template match="para">
       <fo:block font-family="Helvetica" font-size="10pt" 
space-after="6pt">
           <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </fo:block>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


I appreciate any help you fine people can give me, and I apologize for 
asking so many questions. I've ordered the XSL-FO book that O'Reilly is 
producing, but its not even available until 8/15. I'm just a tech writer 
with a few XML (and XSLT, and XPATH, and XML Schema) books, the 
internet, and a project to complete.

Thanks again,
Sandy
