Indeed, Louis, everyone has done this before. This is the very point of XSL. Your different XML files should conform to a standard markup structure to which your XSL templates are written. The FO code is quite typically generated as the outcome of a transformation. This is then pipelined to a Formatting Objects processor (rendering engine). As to WH2FO, they have some lovely examples at their page at sourceforge.net and perhaps a mailing list of their own. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Haarman mhaarma@socsci.umn.edu
