Re: [xsl] Creating Bookmarks and 508 compliance

[Geert Bormans <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use bookmark-tree
That works with FOP 1.0 (not sure it was supported earlier)
I definitely use that in FOP 1

<fo:bookmark-tree>
  <fo:bookmark internal-destination="front-page-id">
     <fo:bookmark-title>
       <xsl:text>Front Page Title</xsl:text>
    </fo:bookmark-title>
 </fo:bookmark>
......

A bookmark has a title, an internal-destination (make sure the block 
you point to has a matching id)
and a bookmark can have other bookmarks as well (to make a hierarchical tree)

There is a way to set the bookmark tree to open with the document, 
but I need to check what that is exactly if that is important

cheers
