Subject: Re: [xsl] xslfo process From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:13:28 -0400 |
I'm new to xslfo but I have been using xslt for a while. My question is, what is the best practice to output xml to pdf?
As far as I understand, those are the step involved:
1. xml -> xslfo through xslt 2. xslfo -> pdf through FOP
But when writing xsl for step 1, I have to put all the fo coding inside xsl for the formatting. It seems to be very distracting.
If I know what data I want from the xml file and what design I want for the pdf output, is it possible to build the fo file first and add the xsl piece later on?
