Other tools require two separate commands. FOP provides this one-command processing as a convenience, but you have to be willing to accept Xalan's limitations to get it, and you are not the first person it has struck as odd. (Disclaimer: I've certainly not used every tool out there, so maybe one-command processing is the norm, but I get the impression it's not. Maybe that's something that is evolving as tools mature, too.) By the way, you can use an XSLT processor other than Xalan with FOP. I routinely use Saxon 8.x (8.4 at present) so that I can use XSLT 2.0 features (notably result-document and for-each-group, but others are creeping into my work, too). That gives me a FO file with a name like something.fo. Then the following command: fop something. fo something.pdf gives me my PDF file. FWIW (And please forgive me if you know all that. I thought it might be information you could use in the event that you didn't already know.) Jay Bryant Bryant Communication Services (presently consulting at Synergistic Solution Technologies)
