Thank you for taking the time to write.  I have been having so many
problems with building tables I finally resorted to these examples from
Dave Pawson's book XSL-FO.  The effort was to run someone elses code to see
just how screwed up mine was.  Dave slowly built his lessons to chapter 10
and the files were the result of his template management and style of
coding.  pl.xsl is the page layout, ps.xsl is the property sets and
main.xsl is the template that imports the other these in order to run.  He
wrote the book in 2002 and was not using FOP to test with.

Anyway, I have finally been able to produce tables after flattening my head
a bit.  I don't think Dave's stuff will run under FOP, but unless he picks
up on this and checks it out, I don't think it's worth the effort for
others.  Again, thanks for taking the time to check it out.

Sincerely,

Curtis Fisher

Hi there,

I am confused on how the system is supposed to work. The ps.xsl you supply
does not contain xsl at
all. So why do you import it? And if I just apply main.xsl to book.xml
(xalan or else), I don't get
a well-formed document returned.

Am I missing something?

Cheers,
Geert
