XSLT files (the ones that have <xsl:template> in them) are used to transform XML files into other files, usually, but not always, into other types of XML files. XSL-FO is one of those kinds of XML files. So if your goal is to produce an XSL-FO file from an XML file using XSLT, you are going to find elements with the fo: namespace in the XSLT file. The processing pipeline would look like this: ____________________ ______ XML -> | | | | | XSL Transform Engine | -> XSL-FO -> | FOP | -> PDF XSLT -> |___________________| |_____| HTML tags are not XSL-FO, so I would expect FOP (a program designed to consume XSL-FO files) to ignore HTML tags, as they are not part of XSL-FO. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email -----Original Message----- From: Gianni Ferrari <gferrari@xxxxxx> Sent: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 13:58:45 +0100 To: <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: XSL and FO Good Morning experts, i would like to ask you a question: i have an XSL file with <xsl:template> and <fo:...> tags... I looked that some users made an FO file with FO tags only. So my qustion is: what is the different between the files XSL and FO? I tried to put html tags also with template and FO tags into XSL file, but during the processing (to transform in PDF), FOP doesn't work... Why? I hope you can help me.... Thank you... Regards Gianni
