Image source

[Ramon Maria Gallart <rg...@asistemas.net>]

    Hi all!
 
    As I said yesterday in a previous message, i'm new to xml, xsl and
so on, so please be patient. Thanks.
    
    Well, the thing is that with all the documentation gathered thanks
to all the answers i got yesterday i've been able to construct a xsl
style sheet to produce a pdf from a xml data source using FOP. Now, what
i would like to know is how can i tell xsl that i want an image whose
name is in a xml tag? For example:
 
in the xml.......
        <img>
            <name>nameOfImage.jpg</name>
        </img>...
 
in the xsl.......
        <fo:block>
            <fo:external-graphic src="(here should go the name of the
image above"/>
        </fo:block>...
 
    A practical axemple or where to find it would be appreciated.
 
    Thanks all.
 
    Ramon.

You could do something like:

<xsl:template match="img">
     <fo:block>
         <fo:external-graphic>
             <xsl:attribute name="src">
                 <xsl:value-of select="./name"/>
             </xsl:attribute>
         </fo:external-graphic>
     </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

try
in the xml.......
        <img>
            <name>nameOfImage.jpg</name>
        </img>...

in the xsl.......
 <xsl:template match="img" >
        <fo:block>
            <fo:external-graphic src="{name}"/>
        </fo:block>
</xsl:template>
