Hi All,

I have download FOB and want to use it as a standalone application to test
XML transformnations to PDF using XSLT.

Using this command line in command promt;

D:\fop-0.20.3>fob -xml test.xml -xsl test.xsl -pdf test.pdf

it build the formatting object tree, parses the document and then stops the
renderer giving the following error:

'master-reference' for 'fo:page-sequence' matches no 'simple-page-master' or
'page-sequence-master'

here is the XML

<greeting>
  Hello, World!
</greeting>


and, here is the xsl

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

  <xsl:output method="xml"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
      <fo:layout-master-set>
        <fo:simple-page-master margin-right="75pt" margin-left="75pt" 
          page-height="11in" page-width="8.5in"
          margin-bottom="25pt" margin-top="25pt" master-name="main">
          <fo:region-before extent="25pt"/>
          <fo:region-body margin-top="50pt" margin-bottom="50pt"/>
          <fo:region-after extent="25pt"/>
        </fo:simple-page-master>
        <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="standard">
          <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
            <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-name="main"
odd-or-even="any"/>
          </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
        </fo:page-sequence-master>
      </fo:layout-master-set>
      
      <fo:page-sequence master-name="standard">
        <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="greeting"/>
        </fo:flow>
      </fo:page-sequence>
    </fo:root>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="greeting">
    <fo:block line-height="76pt" font-size="72pt" text-align="center">
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </fo:block>

You have to change some of the "master-name" attributes to
"master-reference" to be conformant with the XSL REC.

>             <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-name="main"
> odd-or-even="any"/>

<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="main" odd-or-even="any"/>

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="standard">
