Subject: [xsl] pesky & and fop From: "eoin walsh" <paul5@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2002 17:45:45 +0100 |
Hi, I'm trying to dynamically insert some special characters (bullet point for example - •) into a pdf produced using xsl + fop. The XML input is built using something like <snip> String value = "•"; Node root = doc.createElement("THEBIGONE"); Text t = doc.createTextNode(value); root.appendChild(t); </snip> So, I have an xml document with the node above. This is then transformed using xalan-2.0.0.jar with... <snip> Transformer transformer = tbf.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslfile)); DOMResult domResult = new javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult(); transformer.transform(new javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource (thedoc),domResult); // Now you can get the output Node from the DOMResult. Document result = (Document) domResult.getNode(); </snip> and sent off to the fop processor for conversion to PDF. Ok so far. The xsl stylesheet contains <fo:block><xsl:value-of select="THEBIGONE" disable-output- escaping="yes"/></fo:block> which to work properly with the fop needs to transform to <fo:block>•</fo:block> Unfortunately the & in the xml node gets further escaped in the transformation to <fo:block>&#8226;</fo:block> So in the PDF instead of a bullet point I see &#8226; As you can see I've set the disable-output-escaping="yes" attribute in the stylesheet. Not only have I read that this isn't really a good idea (with evil overtones of GOTO) but it doesn't even seem to do the trick..... I've also played with encoding types and gludgey entity substitutions with no luck. Any advice/direction (even it's "it can't be done") would make work fun again.........
