Hi,

I would like to apply style like bold, italic, etc using XSLT and XSL-FO
Normally this is simple, but I have the following challenge:

This is a fragment of my XML code:

<ClientNote>
<remark>
test: &lt;bold&gt;this should be bold&lt;/bold&gt; and this shouldn't be
</remark>
</ClientNote>

In my XSLT I use this template to apply to XML <bold> nodes

<xsl:template match="bold">
<fo:inline font-weight="bold">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</fo:inline>
</xsl:template>


The &lt;bold&gt; are not real XML tags so I have no idea to apply style like I am used to.

I've tried a lot of variations but I can't seem to find a solution.

Any idea's here?

Thanks,

Marco

Marco,

What you have inside the element "remarks" is *not* XML but plain text, XSLT will not be able to process it.

Do you have any control on the input XML?

Yes, but I use JDOM and it doesn't handle mixed content like <text>this <bold>word</bold> ...</text> in a convenient way.

I hoped there was a convenient XSLT method to accomplish this.
There should be ways of creating XML nodes dynamically?

Hi Marco,
trying to manipulate that string from within XSLT is going to be hard (even if XSLT 2.0 has some string processing built-in functions); it would be better if you generated a standard XML file, maybe replacing JDOM with another DOM-based technology that suits better your data structure.

Hi Alberto,

Thanks for your answer.

Dynamicaly generating the XML nodes seemed a little discursive.
Fortunately I managed to find a temporary work around in JDOM.

I now just simply:
- write the document to a string
- replace the &lt;style&gt; &lt;/style&gt; tags (only when they are in balance)
- reparse the document to contain mixed content.

It takes a little more cpu power and I will certainly try to find a better solution when I have some time.

Thanks,
Marco
