If the XML was actually a source *file* and processed as such, there
are no special things to do.
However, as I alreay wrote, I suspect you get this as *text*, rather
than *element nodes* into the transformation input, via whatever means
you choose not to mention here. You can verify this by dumping the
transformation output to a file instead of feeding it to FOP, unless
you use disable-output-escaping in the transformation you'll probably
see
  &lt;fo:block font-weight="bold"&gt;
or something similar instead of
  <fo:block font-weight="bold">
in the file.

Advice: read a good book about XML in order to understand the difference
between an XML file and XML APIs, or post a more comprehensive description
of your approach to dynamical source generation (including the relevant
Java code).
