RE: [xsl] xml to xsl: fo -> pdf format: break line!!!!

["Richard Kirby" <richard-newsletters@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - you could try something along the lines of...


<xsl:template name="lf-to-block">
  <xsl:param name="text"/>
  <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="contains($text, '&#10;')">
     	<fo:block>
          <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, '&#10;')"/>
      </fo:block>
	<xsl:call-template name="lf-to-block">
          <xsl:with-param name="text"
select="substring-after($text,'&#10;')"/>
	</xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
  	<fo:block>
          <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
      </fo:block>
     </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>


All the best,
Richard

Hi, could anyone help me?
I have some problem with the transformation of xml, through fo (formatting
object) to generate a pdf from it.

If I have information stored in a DB ORACLE, inserted from a data field
where the user could write free text (including break line, with the ENTER
tab).

HOW could I represent in pdf the same formatted text? Actually the code I
have is:

<fo:block font-size="8pt" font-family="sans-serif" line-height="10pt"
space-after.optimum="4pt" padding-top="4pt">      <xsl:value-of select= "//
DATA/ROWTAG/CS01_DESC_OPERAT"/>
</fo:block>

and all that is retrived fromn DB, via XML, mantain tha case format, but
lose the end of the line,  marked on DB with a double pipe.

thanx a lot
Pedro
