Hi,

It still nothing happens and I got the following warning WARNING:

Here is the full stylesheet.

A couple of things jump out at me, first you are not using the correct
syntax for the src= attribute (though some processors ignore the
requirement to use the correct syntax); second the URL syntax for the
local file system doesn't look correct either.

There are a number of variations of syntax for src= and I tell my
students that the most reliable to use is:

       src='url("  ..url..   ")'

Reviewing the syntax for URLs, single quotes are allowed while double
quotes are not, thus the syntax above means that a transformation
involving a valid URL entered by a user will not inadvertently create
improperly-quoted strings.

If the filename is c:\logo.jpg, then I belive the correct URL syntax for
this is:

       file:///c:/logo.jpg

So, try:

  <fo:external-graphic src='url("file:///c:/logo.jpg"  height="3cm"
width="3cm"/>

I hope this helps.
