Why no .fo needed to run fop?

Hi all,



I have a simple conceptual question...why are you able to run fop with just an XSL stylesheet and the input XML doc? 



1. Is an fo created implicitly?

2. what's the format of this fo?



>From the examples:



        fop -xsl foo.xsl -xml foo.xml -pdf foo.pdf



Thanks,

Dan Maher

Uh, thanks. My question, however, is why you can run fop without an fo, and
in that case, what 'do it do'?

The following page will give you some insight:

it is not... an intermediate .fo is indeed generated ( if the .xsl &
.xml together
make up a well-formed xsl:fo document ).

    Hi Dan,

    Please, read a little more on the FOP site. 

    You use XSLT with XML to create a .fo file, in the same way you
use it to crate an xml file. Then that file is converted to pdf with
wop. Quite simple.
