Saxon creates whatever kind of output your legal XSLT stylesheet describes. If your stylesheet describes an XSL-FO file, then that's what you'll get. If your stylesheet describes an HTML page, then you'll get an HTML page, likewise CSV, RTF, text (rather than binary) PDF, etc., etc.

Subject:   Can Saxon create intermediate XSL-FO files ?

Assume I apply a XSL-FO stylesheet onto a XML document.

Other XML tools mostly create immediately the target (e.g. pdf file)
without creating the intermediate XSL-FO file first.

Does Saxon provide an option to create this intermediate XSL-FO file ?

Are XSL-FO stylesheets insofar treated as "normal" XSLT stylesheets ?
