RE: [xsl] XML + XSLT = SVG using FOP example needed...

["Robert Koberg" <rob@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

I did not even know you could render SVG with FOP. I am new to SVG too (just got
my O'Reilly's SVG book 3 days ago :).

But, I don't understand why you would need to render. I thought SVG was just XML
that is displayed through some viewer. What do you get when you render it?
