Subject: Re: Processing a home-brewed FOT From: Sean Mc Grath <digitome@xxxxxx> Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1998 11:49:01 +0100 |
[Richard Light] My question is, if I manage to produce a FOT in this way, can I feed it into one of the Jade back-ends and so produce paginated output? [Toby Speight] You ought to be able to feed it into the *front end* of Jade if you're happy to grind out a stylesheet for the identity transform of FOT. I don't know why such a stylesheet hasn't been contributed to the Jade distribution; it's hard to believe that no-one has made one yet. I can think of many many uses for an identity transform of FOT. There are lots of SGML transformation systems out there that could target FOT and thus benefit from Jade's back-ends without having to use the DSSSL expression language. Could such an identity transforamation be generated from either the FOT dtd or the SGML source description of the flow objects? (Doing it with Jade itself would be pleasently self-referential). </Sean> Sean Mc Grath - http://www.digitome.com/sean.htm XML by Example:Building E-Commerce Applications (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0139601627/digitomeelectronA/) ParseMe.1st - SGML for Software Developers (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0134889673/digitomeelectronA/) DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
