XSLT-FO to PDF

Hi!

I need to convert a XML-file to PDF where each page have a border
surrounding the text . In a DTP program you would have created this
border in the master pages.

I can point you to an _example_ of XSL-FO page definition with borders:

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/fobasic.html

.... does that help, or do you need the full path from raw XML to PDF? (I
haven't worked with XSL-FO much, so if you need more info someone else
will probably have to provide it. My focus has been on the stylesheets.)

Thanks Joe.

I found out that the best way to include the border I want is to use
<fo:region-body background-image="image.jp g"/>

Was wondering if XSLT alone is appropriate for the following situation. From XML, I'm creating a small website (around 50 pages) with pages that link to each other through a nav menu and a "crumb-trail" of links. I'm transforming the XML with XSLT through Saxon. The nav menu and "crumb-trail" show the user where they are within the site and is made by reflecting the XML tree structure. My problem now is that when I want to generate...

I have done my best to answer this question but can not find the proper set of commands.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone out there knows if it is possible to convert a CSV to xml using XSLT? I've seen a lot of examples of xml to CSV, but is it possible to go back the other way? I don't want to have to use some external program or script to parse the csv first if possible

Here's a short list of useful xslt general tricks that aren't taught at w3schools. Attribute Value Template Official W3C explanation and example This is when you want to put dynamic values in the attribute of an element. Instead of using the <xsl:attribute> element, you can simply place the xpath in the attribute itself. The most common usage of this is in creating hyperlinks.
