XML to PDF
I recently ran across a company called Renderx.com, which produces a
commercially available XML to PDF rendering engine. They have alot of
examples of PDF's that include graphics, hyperlinks, etc - below is some of
their code. Does anybody know if Cocoon supports FO code like the
following?
-Dave
<fo:block text-align="centered">
<fo:inline-sequence vertical-align="middle">
<fo:inline-rule length="2.4in" rule-thickness="0.5pt" color="black"/>
</fo:inline-sequence>
</fo:block>
OR
<fo:block text-align="centered">
This is the image that will be used for the test:
<fo:display-graphic text-align="centered" href="url('Images/teddy.jpg')"/>
</fo:block>

The RenderX engine receives a single XSL/FO document. The engine is
compliant with XSL as described in the W3C Working Draft of 21 April 1999 -
the same version supported by FOP. Is this correct? Also, I'm not sure why
I would want to integrate RenderX into Coocon when FOP is apparently
supposed to do the same thing. Does anybody know the status of the
development of FOP?

You're not talking about cocoon, you're talking about fop, the FO => PDF
tool from James Tauber, which is integrated into cocoon. fop is still
under development, you can make simple PDFs, but many complex operations
are not supported yet. What input does the RenderX engine want? It can
probably be integrated into cocoon.

Believe me, I've been trying all day, but no luck. According to the
Features section under FOP on xml.apache.org, it has these capabilities, but
I have not found any examlpes. And the link sent by Nishit does not have
embeded graphics, but if you have gotten this to work, I would love to know
how. Thanks.

IMHO, my question about this is: Why you just try the FOP transformation
according to your necessities with FOP formater embedding into Cocoon logic
and see the results? Maybe it has these capabilities.
I saw in the example link sended by Nishit it has and embedded graphic .I
don't remember now if is .gif, .jpg or whatever, but I remember try the
example in my own machine and ran wonderful.

Yes, I looked at this page earlier, but there's no reference to imbedding
graphics or hyperlinks or creating complex tables or adding page footers and
headers. Can these things be done with Cocoon?
