Re: [xsl] XSL-FO & Images

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Are there any ways of using the "<fo:external-graphic>" tag in a scalable 
  manner? i.e. run through my XML document, match all the "<image>" tags and 
  populate a table?


yes of course, XSLT doesn't know anything about FO (or any other XML
format in the result tree) Your question is very general, just asking is
it possible to find all elements of some sort in an input tree and
generate an output element for each one. That in essence is just exactly
what XSLT does, so it's hard to know where to give specific advice unless
you can narrow down your problem.

<xsl:template match="/">
<fo:table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//image"/>
</fo:table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="image">
 <fo:table-row>
 <fo:table-cell
 <fo:external-graphic src="url({.})/>
 </fo:table-cell
 </fo:table-row>
</xsl:template>

does smoething related to your question.
