I'm attempting for this: (Code from Antenna House's Page)
<xsl:attribute-set name="style1">
<xsl:attribute name="font-family">"SAINS-SERIF"</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-weight">24</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="color">.....</xsl:attribute>
...
</xsl:attribute-set>
....
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="style1"> ..</fo:block>
But don't work. I´m working with FOP in the IDE Stylus Studio (It can select
Xalan-J or Saxon 6 like XSL processor), but don´t recognize since design time
these xsl:attribute-set, xsl:attribute, xsl:use-attribute.
What I need for use xsl:atributte-set ? It will be the solution for imitate CSS
in XSL-FO, Isn't it?

I use it all the time with Saxon 6.5.3.

Note that it has nothing to do with XSL-FO, only with XSLT.

I don't understand to what you refer when you say "since design time...."

It is a method of implementing, styles, yes, and it is a very strategic
XSLT construct to use when deploying both large and small XSL-FO projects.

In the W3C recommendation, <fo:root> (6.4.2) only have the property media-usage,
however in my code <fo:root font-size="2cm"> works correctly. That's ever and
only happens with inheritable properties? With all them, in every formatting
object? Or in which form.obj. and with what properties?

Inheritable properties can be put everywhere and should be properly
inherited. Note that it doesn't make sense to place a font-family
property on lets say layout-master-set, because none of the children
of this FO use this property.
There are also means to get non-inheritable properties from other
FOs.

I've searched the archive but have been unable to find a way to do
change bars, can someone point me in the right direction? There was
something that pointed to a web page that evidently no longer exists.
For instance a sentence may have <change> this is the change information
</change> and should be marked by a line in the outer margin wherever it
falls.
I have this in a wrapper since it falls in the middle of info sometimes,
and it appears borders will only work with blocks.
<xsl:template match="change">
<fo:wrapper>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:wrapper>
</xsl:template>

For XSL-FO 1.0 this can only really be done using proprietary
extensions, such as the Antenna House and Arbortext change bar
extensions (RenderX did not have a change bar extension as of version
3.7.7 but there may be one in 3.8--I haven't had a chance to look).
The current draft of XSL-FO 1.1 includes support for change bars and I
would expect that feature to survive into the final recommendation--it's
widely recognized as a key feature needed by many users
If you confine your change marking to complete blocks you can produce
passable change bars by generating a start- or end-side border for the
block. Unfortunately, there's no general or reliable way to do this for
arbitrary ranges of text within a block in FO 1.0.
Cheers,
E.

use this
<fo:block>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</fo:block>
If your processor supports exslt date functions, you can do it this way:
1. Add this namespace to your XSL stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:date=http://exslt.org/dates-and-times
2. Add this where you want the date to appear:
<xsl:value-of select="date:date-time()"/>
Or you can pass the value to a template if you want to format it. The
DocBook XSL stylesheets have a 'datetime.format' template that can format a
date in many ways.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use relative urls for images?
ie <fo:external-graphic src="url(/images/image.jpg)" /> instead of
<fo:external-graphic src="url(http://site.com/images/image.jpg)" />
Thanks,
Max Z.

The spec cites RFC 2396 without qualification.
I use relative URLs all the time of the form "../dir/file" without failure.
Looking at RFC 2396 in section 5, your syntax "/images/image.jpg" looks
just fine as an abs_path, so I guess the question goes to the vendor of an
XSL-FO engine rather than to the facilities of the specification.
I hope this helps.

I'm using xsl-fo to display long lists of data in tables that have
headers that repeat on new pages. I have 3 sets of headers that need
to be repeated so i nest the data a few tables deep. Everything
works perfectly. The problem i have is with the renderers. They all
seem to have trouble with large nested tables. I don't want to
mention any one specific, but i have found only one renderer that can
handle large documents in this form (over 100 pages). That one
renderer is way out of my budget. The renderers work great if i
break the tables out and have them all on the top level.
I'm basically looking for a document with a structure like
<header1>
<header2>
<table>
<tableheader/>
<data/>
......
......
<tablefooter/>
</table>
<table>
<tableheader/>
<data/>
......
......
<tablefooter/>
</table>
......
......
</header2>
</header1>

There is a fix available for FOP 0.20.5 that streamlines the memory usage
relating to tables. To get the fix you need to download the FOP source from
CVS, and then build it. See:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/download.html#source
Make sure you download the maintenance branch and then build the source. I
will be interested to see if it solves your problem.
Chris
I'm actually using commercial renderers that work with .NET. But i'll download
fop and give it a shot.

Greetings,
Is there a way to generate page subsequences
for the purpose of pagination in XSL-FO? In other
words, we like to generate local (in contrast to
global, container or parent) page numbers using an
embedded page sequence (assuming that there
is such a thing).
Example
------------------
Main Doc (Page 1 of 1000)
Section 1 (Page 1 of 3)
Section 1 (Page 2 of 3)
Main Doc (Page 3 of 1000)
Section 1 (Page 3 of 3)
Section 2 (Page 1 of 2)
Main Doc (Page 4 of 1000)
Section 2 (Page 2 of 2)
Thanks,
Peter Wu

No, a given page sequence has but one sequence of page numbers.

Fine ... that can be done in isolation, but not simultaneously with
book-wide page numbering.

There isn't. A page sequence has but one page number sequence.

I'm assuming each of your sections is a fresh <page-sequence> ... to get
the individual sections numbered use initial-page-number="1" and
<page-number> and then for the pages in that sequence cite an id that you
place in the area tree at the end of the sequence.
But that will not give you, simultaneously, a book-wide page number.
And you cannot do arithmetic with cited page numbers (or page numbers of
any kind).
Sorry I can't help you, but it is not available in XSL-FO.

Hi Ken,
Thanks answering my questions.
Would you be the very same Ken G. Holman who written
the book "Definitive XSL-FO"?
I hope that what I'm about to suggest isn't too
radical (or too dumb) of an approach but I have need
for and would like to help extend XSL-FO to enable the
declaration of custom page counters within an XSL-FO
page sequence.
This is what I have in mind:
<xsl:template match="next-sub-section">
<fo:page-sequence master-name="test-pagemaster"
master-reference="test-pagemaster">
<custom-page-counter-abc start-at="1">
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:custom-page-counter-abc/><xsl:text> OF
</xsl:text><fo:custom-page-counter-citation-abc
ref-id="end-of-subsection"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:page-number/><xsl:text> OF
</xsl:text><fo:page-number-citation
ref-id="end-of-doc"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-start">
...
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-end">
...
</fo:static-content>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
...
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:template>
If I do this and want to do it right, what procedure
should I follow? To whom should I submit my idea for
approval?
By the way, is what I'm suggesting already being
considered for the next version of XSL-FO anyways?
Thanks,
Peter Wu

...oops, I forgot to mention in case it isn't obvious
that the custom-page-counter-abc reinitializes to the
value of "start-at" at the beginning of each
sub-section and "abc" is the name of the custom
counter that is prefixed by "custom-page-counter"
keyword.
Perhaps it would be more clear if it were declared
this way:
<custom-page-counter name="abc" start-at="1">
...and of course the reference to this countered would
be declared as
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:custom-page-counter name="abc"/><xsl:text> OF
</xsl:text><fo:custom-page-counter-citation name="abc"
ref-id="end-of-subsection"/>

...I guess my main concern with extending the XSL-FO
"tag library" (borrowing terminology from JSP) is
whether or not the existing framework will support
such an extension without the need to extensively
restructured.

I am looking for information on applications that implement XSL-FO and how
they handle complex character rendering. For instance, I understand that
RenderX is implemented in Java. Does the Java implementation on Windows
support Uniscribe, or just OpenType? (I realize that's really a Java
question but maybe somebody here knows.) Same question about XSL Formatter.
It says it supports OpenType fonts; does it use Uniscribe to do that?
Thanks for your help,

Presumably RenderX and XSL Formatter, being implemented in Java and so
running on non-Windows platforms, don't use the Uniscribe Windows API.
Ibex XSL-FO Formatter (http://www.xmlpdf.com/ibex.html) uses Uniscribe for
Arabic text formatting in the .NET implementation.
Hope this helps
John
