Auto-generate table of contents
Can somebody point me to a good (and well explained) example of using
XSL/FOP to auto-create a table of contents? I've spent the last couple hours
looking for information on this but it's not making sense.
Here's a sample of my xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<catalog>
<intellispec>
<pn>C0805C101J1GACTU</pn>
<aliases>
<alias>C0805C101J1GAC7800</alias>
</aliases>
<mfg>KEMET</mfg>
<svg-path>C:/svn/code/IntelliSpec/images/</svg-path>
<copyright-year>2006-2009</copyright-year>
. . .
</intellispec>
<intellispec>
<pn>T491B107K010AT</pn>
<mfg>KEMET</mfg>
<svg-path>C:/svn/code/IntelliSpec/images/</svg-path>
<copyright-year>2006-2009</copyright-year>
. . .
</intellispec>
. . .
I would like to generate a table of contents page using the text of the
catalog/intellispec/pn and mfg tags (the table of contents would render more
or less as follows:
C0805C101J1GACTU (KEMET) ..................... 1
T491B107K010AT (KEMET) ....................... 2
. . .
(Each item would also have an internal hyperlink to the page number in the
pdf where the associated datasheet is located)
I have attached the xsl file I'm working on; the table of contents is
intended to go in the first <fo: page-sequence> tag body.
Thanks in advance for the assistance,

Correct, but as I mentioned, I don't think you need to do anything
special for referring to a specific 'page' in the target document
(other than appending 'page=xx' to the URI of the external-link in the
source document)

That's another matter. If that does not work properly, it could mean
that Excel does not correctly pass the URL parameters to the PDF
viewer application, and the bug should be filed with MS. Nothing we
can do on our end to resolve that, unfortunately...
Again: to simply refer to specific 'pages' in the target PDF, nothing
special needs to happen for the source PDF.

The supplied link should be of help, but only if you do not need to
refer to predefined 'anchors' (not 'pages') in the target document.

That appears to be for creating links inside the document that point to an
external document, no? I'm wanting to create a hyperlink from an external
excel file that opens to a particular point (page, named destination, it
doesn't matter) inside the pdf document I'm generating. Is this possible?
I'm not having much luck. Perhaps if I attach the xsl it'll help? (I want
an externally-accessible bookmark of some sort for each page created with
the xsl:for-each starting on line 162)
Thanks for the help,
~Brian

Just noticed: to open the document at a specific /page/, you should be
able to do that using a regular fo:external-link, without having to do
anything special in the target FO document. Anchors/named destinations
are useful if you can figure out an identifier for the part you're
referring to, but have no idea on which page it resides (because maybe
the document has not been rendered yet?).

How do you put bookmarks or page markings into the pdf so that you can use
(hyperlink)#page=XXX to open the document to a specific page?

Perhaps this can help as an example:
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/r
esources/xhtml2fo.xsl
Look for <!-- Table of content --> to find the code that generates the
table of contents, and then search for
<xsl:template match="html:h1" mode="transform">
to see how to generate the link target.
