  • 1.  XSL-FO stylesheets - where to begin

    Posted 10-22-2008 14:33
    Dear docbook users,

    I'm familiar with CSS. So my generated docbook html output, I can almost fine
    adjust with CSS - what makes me happy.

    Has anyone a good starting point with examples to learn XSL-FO stylesheets,
    to control the PDF/RTF output?

    Thanks id advance for any hint.

    Halm,

    For the DocBook stylesheets, the place to start is Bob
    Stayton's book, DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide. You
    can find information about it at this URL:

    http://www.sagehill.net/book-description.html

    This is not a general tutorial on XSL-FO, rather it is
    about the DocBook stylesheets and how to use them. If
    you are looking for a book on XSL-FO, you can check out
    Dave Pawson's book, XSL-FO: Making XML Look Good in Print:

    http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596003555/index.html

    I have both of these books and use them frequently.
