Maintaining RTF formating in FOP/PDF

RLPopeIII — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:16:16 GMT

I am creating PDF reports with the xml data from a form. The RTF fields have a lot of XHTML formatting.

I am using Altova StyleVision to build my reports. Unfortunately, StyleVision strips the XHTML elements out of the RTF field.

The reulting FOP code that Altova generates is:

<xsl:for-each select="do:Definition">

<xsl:for-each select="note:Note">
    <fo:inline>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </fo:inline>

</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

I tried replacing xsl:apply-template with xsl:copy-of (which works with xslt to make html) but the FOP did not like that (It produces nothing).

Is there a xslt/fo element that will expose and format the html in rtf elements?

I am using the Apache FOP .20.5

Thanks,

Ren
