HTML to FO?

[Chris Ryland <cp...@emsoftware.com>]

Forgive my ignorance (I'm fairly new to this list), but is there a standard
path/method for converting HTML directly to FO for layout with FOP? Or is
this something that remains?

Cheers!

Hello Chris,

there is no standard way to accomplish this, but here are some links:

- first take HTML Tidy to clean your HTML-Code to XHTML (open and
close   tags..)
  http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/

- have a look at
  http://www.renderx.com/~renderx/Demos/fo2html/index.html
  this is a converter for FOP to HTML.
  The style sheet is there for download.

- RenderX is also testing on a full HTML 2 FOP 2 PDF Converter
  http://www.renderx.com/~renderx/Demos/HAXEP/index.html
  (no sources)

- another probably helpful link:
  http://www.jclark.com/sp/sx.htm (for valid HTML?!)

Hope this helps.

I was looking for this a while ago.  Somebody on the list replied to my
message with the following attachments:



There are limitations to the example but it is a good starting point.  I
hope this helps.
