How to generate a xslt file from xml

Question

I'm beginner with xml and xsl. I'm looking for the way to generate or understanding how is the using of xsl stylesheet. In my particular case, I'm using a html file which it converts to xhtml. The next step I want to convert is the file generated to xsl-fo but I've seen I have to use a xslt stylesheet to do that. My question is about this file. How is it generate this xsl file? Is generated from the xhtml file?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Antenna House provides a sample XHTML to XSL-FO stylesheet under the 'XHTML to XSL-FO' tab at http://www.antennahouse.com/antenna1/xml-to-xsl-fo-stylesheets/ . There's also an XSL-FO tutorial available under the 'XML to XSL-FO' tab.

Answer 2

Generally, the XSL file for an XSL-FO conversion is not generated. You'll have to create this file yourself. It contains a lot of information not present in the XHTML, for example page layouts.

XSL-FO is a bit like CSS, yes. The difference is that XSL-FO has lots more options, so an XSL-FO file is 100 times longer than a CSS file.

Here's an introduction to XSL-FO .
