Thank you for your help :-) It was really helpful. I will examine the
examples from your website closely. Thanks again.

I'm using Oreilly's xsl-fo book (and google ofcause) but is there any good
xsl-fo book / webpage that you could recommend for reading ?

:{)} I *could* recommend my own book, but then that would be quite biased. Thankfully others have found my book useful as well. I have copied the meta data below for the four titles (two electronic and two paper publications) regarding XSL. You can download a preview of the electronic titles without being obligated to buy the full text ... that way you know what you would be getting.


Having written my own book, I confess that I have not read others. By learning the specification directly from the Recommendation text, I felt I could write a book without being influenced by the writing of others.

Other members of this mail list should see this as an opportunity to recommend other titles from very qualified authors ... this is a great community to be part of and there are lots of very good resources out there.

I hope this helps.
