Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: docbook -> FO via xsltproc
In this post Norm supplies an xsl that pretty prints xml: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2003-q1/msg00176.html fop.extensions does more than just add bookmarks--several things that help/confuse fop are included/excluded based on that setting. But I understand that using DocBook + fop still requires that you be willing to live with fop's current limitations: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2003-q1/msg01276.html Hope that information helps you get outside a little sooner :) David -----Original Message----- From: Robert P. J.

(is there such a thing as a FOP "viewer"?) and, second, is there anything specific i should add/adjust in a stylesheet for processing docbook, knowing that i want to generate FO that i will eventually pass to FOP? from docbook.sourceforge.net, i see a single "fop.extensions" parameter, but those extensions apparently consist totally of PDF bookmarks, so it's not like that represents a major overhaul of the output. is there anything else FOP-specific i should be taking into account regarding stylesheets? thanks. rday p.s. it's *way* too nice to be sitting inside on a day like this. dang.
