Hi, im new to xslt and fo and need some help. Im using stylus studio 6 professional build 287n to design transforms to create FO output for post processing with appache FOP.

Is there a way to create multiple copies from a single source xml file with the second and subsequent copies having slightly different layout (say, a watermark).

All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Assuming you're using an XSLT engine that supports multiple outputs,
such as Saxon or Xalan, you could have a driver that calls the same
templates again and again, but passing a different parameter down
which changes the behavior. Kind of like this:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="root">
<xsl:with-param name="outputfile" select="'plain.fo'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="watermark" select="''"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:apply-templates select="root">
<xsl:with-param name="outputfile" select="'fancy.fo'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="watermark" select="'big-old-watermark'"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
......
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:param name="output-file"/>
<xsl:param name="watermark"/>
<xsl:result-document format="xml" href="{$outputfile}">
......
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>
