  • Printing and the Web
    � Printing and the Web With the ubiquity of formats such as HTML for online use, there has been long-standing interest in applying W3C technologies in printing environments. Starting with a workshop in 1996, the W3C has developed technologies with a focus on printing, such as XSL- FO, XHTML Print and SVG Print. All the W3C print-related technologies are developed in a vendor- neutral way with the goal of being implementable on a royalty-free basis. The W3C Process contains strict interoperability and confor- mance criteria, ensuring the standards are usable across multiple platforms and devices. SVG Print Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based Key benefits: Where will it be used: language for two-dimensional graphics.

  • Browsing XSL FO
    DEVELOPER'S ZONE SHOP SEARCH Products Demos Stories Solutions Support Download Customers Partners Company Sitemap Browsing XSL FO XSL Formatting Objects are an XML dialect; why not render them to HTML by an XSLT stylesheet? What you see below is the first attempt to materialize this idea. It is created and maintained by RenderX development team as an add-on to our principal product, XEP. Introduction Here is the stylesheet: fo2html.xsl. Please download it and try to view your favorite XSL FO documents in a browser. Don't expect the result to be perfect - see below about limitations, but - look at our demos! If you plan to extend it to cover more of the XSL spec, please share your accomplishments with us. Here are some examples produced by the stylesheet from FO files. PDFs (generated by XEP) are also given; they serve as a reference to assess the quality of their HTML counterparts. All examples have been tested in IE5: for reasons explained below, we cannot guarantee full interoperability with other browsers. Description XSL FO HTML PDF (reference) Hammer Manual hammer.fo hammer.fo.html hammer.pdf XML 1.0 Recommendation xml2e.fo xml2e.fo.html xml2e.pdf XPath 1.0 Recommendation xpath.fo xpath.fo.html xpath.pdf Possible Use A stylesheet like this may be used to reduce the complexity in a publishing system with multiple target media: you generate XSL FOs from semantic XML data, and use it as a source for all other presentation formats. When your data structure changes, you only have to modify XML-to-XSLFO stylesheet.

The XSL language itself uses valid XML syntax, with constructs such as: <xsl:if test="@author='Jones'">Hello Mrs. Jones!</xsl:if> The start-tag and end-tag of every statement echo the syntax of the opening and closing parenthesis of Lisp. The designers of XSL wanted a data driven language: it strongly encourages the inversion of control design pattern. The language assumes the processing of an XML file as a tree to produce a text-based output document, generally HTML, XML, plain-text, or PDF.
