create multiple files

Does FOP have the ability to create multiple HTML files from a single set of XML and XSLT files?
For example I have an XML document that I use to create an 8page pdf document.  I want to use that same XML file and create 8 html documents.  Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks
Noel

I think one can in one pass, generate a xhtml file with 8
"html" roots.  One can you jdom or another xsl to do the transformation to
break them apart.

<xml>
	<html>...</html>
	<html>...</html>
	...
</xml>

use jdom to parse the above xsl output and output each element of type
html to
serialize to it's own outputstream.

FOP renders XSLFO into PDF and a variety of other formats.
It is conveniently integrated with Xalan or any other
TrAX conformant XSLT processor so that you can generate
the XSLFO on the fly form your source XML and a XSLT
style sheet.
Generating HTML and other general questions about applying
XSLT is somewhat out of the scope for FOP, such queestions
should be directed to the XSL list:
  http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/

If I understand your question correctly, you want to
have one XSLT file, which generates 8 HTML files form
one XML file in one pass. This is not possible with
standard XSLT 1.0, however, most XSLT processors have
extension functionality to achieve this. Xalan has
a "redirect" element for this. Consult the manual of
your XSLT processor for details.

You don't need fop to transform xml into html, that's xslt processor's job.
