Add 'XEP' as an ouput method

Is it possible to add a method to the list of methods in the FO Processor dialog. I am using XEP and I would like the option of creating xep proprietary xml output which can be further manipulated with XSL, and then rendered as a PDF.

I have added XEP via Tools -> External Tools -> Preferences. Adding and setting of XEP is then pretty easy.

I have already setup XEP as one of my FO Processors. What I want to do is add 'xep' as an option to the list of methods. Right now pdf, ps and txt are the three options available. I want to add xep as a fourth option.

Hello,

If you want to use a custom output method of an external FO processor you should set that in the command line of the processor defined from Options -> Preferences -> XML -> XSLT/FO/XQuery -> FO Processors. For example in the command line of XEP you should use -xep instead of the default parameter -${method} added by Oxygen automatically when you set up XEP as external FO processor:

Code: Select all

D:\XEP\xep.bat -fo ${fo} -xep ${out}
