I am having problem creating a “List, internal link, external link, subscript and supscript” templates for my XSL-FO file to render my xml file to PDF. The xml documents are tagged this way.
For List

<list type=”bulleted”>
<item>Some Text</item>
</list>

For External Link (<extlink fileref="http://test.org">Text</extlink>) and

For Internal Links (<link idref="appB">appendix B</link>)

For subscripts and superscripts (<supscrpt></supscrpt>) and (<subscrpt></subscript>)

The xsl-fo file that I have created looks like this,

<xsl:template match="list">
<xsl:if test="@type='bulleted'">
<fo:list-block provisional-distance-between-starts="18pt"
provisional-label-separation="3pt">
<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
<fo:block>•</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-block>
</xsl:if-->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="link">
<fo:basic-link role="internal link" color="blue" text-decoration="underline">
<xsl:attribute name="internal-destination">
<xsl:value-of select="@idref"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:basic-link>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="extlink">
<fo:basic-link show-destination="new" role="external link" color="blue"
text-decoration="underline">
<xsl:attribute name="external-destination">
<xsl:value-of select="@fileref"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</fo:basic-link>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="supscrpt">
<fo:inline font-size="smaller" baseline-shift="super">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:inline>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="subscrpt">
<xsl:if test="subscrpt">
<fo:inline font-size="5pt" baseline-shift="sub">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:inline>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Please help

Hello,

I've attached a modified version of your stylesheet in which all of your requirements are working.

XML sample:

Code: Select all

<root>

    <list type="bulleted">

        <item id="appB">An anchor</item>

        <item>Another item</item>

        <item>Third item</item>

    </list>



    <link idref="appB">Link to the first item.</link>

        <extlink fileref="www.google.com">External

            link.</extlink> Text<supscrpt>superscript</supscrpt>text<subscrpt>subscript</subscrpt>text

</root>

XSL:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" 

    exclude-result-prefixes="xs fo" version="2.0">



    <xsl:template match="/">

        <fo:root>

            <fo:layout-master-set>

                <fo:simple-page-master master-name="all-pages">

                    <fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body" margin="0.7in" column-gap="0.25in"/>

                    <fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before" extent="0.7in"

                        display-align="after"/>

        </fo:inline>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
