Table-of-Contents Headlines
Hi is it possible to declare certain sentences as a headline and generate autmatically a table-of-contents in JFOR/FOP?
Perhaps somebody could send me an example.
Greetings,
Johannes.

Could you elaborate more on this? This may be one more step in showing
myself as a complete newbie (which I am) but I don't see how thiscould
help me.

Get the image source URL from a style sheet parameter:
<xsl:stylesheet ...>
<xsl:param name="image-src"/>
<xsl:template ...>
...
<fo:external-graphic src="{$image-src}"/>
...
See
http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html#render-with-xslt
for an example of embedding FOP. You can set the paramter
by using setParameter on the transformer (details in the
JavaDoc).
Definitely much easier than implementing a FOP extension.

I wish I could (and maybe I can, but I'm a XSLT newbie also :-)
The problem I have is as follows. The PDF need to include a graphic which
is specific for each document. Its a kind of watermark that is generated
using data that's found in the XML used to create the document.
For example (and it is an example), the graphic could look like a bunny
rabbit when your name is Peter Verhoye :-)
So, I don't see how to do this using anything else than an extension.
The problem is that I've been looking at existing example, but whenever
they do graphics, they use SVG and the component that I use generates JPG.
This, and the fact that I can even seem to find an example that shows a
very basic extension (like print a text) means my work is kinda hard :-D

Instead of an extension element--*very* complex--can't
you use XSLT to generate your FO stylesheet, possibly
using xsl:param to dynamically choose the graphic
desired?

FOP extension development (newbie)
Posted by Peter Verhoye <pe...@synergetic-solutions.be>.
Hi all,
I'm in the process of writing a FOP extension. To be able to start I was
planning on creating a FOP extension that does something very silly: to
load an jpg file and insert it in a PDF document.
I know, this is already possible but the goal is to be able to insert a
generated image in a PDF document on the fly.
I can't use a servlet so no help there.
Does somebody has some good, very good pointers to help me out as, to be
honest, it's all over my head a bit right now :-S
Thanks in advance
Peter

Do you have an example for a xslt document that creates a table-of-contents
which is generated at the end of the document?

Ok, i'll try it. Thx for explanation.
By the way do you know if it is possible and how to use the headline
function of word/rtf with XSL-FO/JFOR?

No this is not possible in general within XSL-FO. You can do something in
XSLT. Using markers and page-number-citation its possible create a table of
Contents at back of document, but not at the front :-(
