FOP - use in PIPE as command line tool.
Is it possible to configure FOP to read standard input for it's FO source?
I want to use it at the end of a pipe (as my intermediate XML documents are
getting very large)
but can't see any options to do this - and I'm not very familiar with Java
so haven't looked at the source code yet.
(If I do spend the time looking through the source it would be helpful to
know that there is a solution in there somewhere)
If it is possible (and should be as it uses SAX processing) any help /
pointers would be appreciated.
If I'm being stupid and there is an easy way to do this I'd appreciate
knowing that as well.
Thanks.

Thanks.
I'll reserve some time soon and see if I can add a command line parameter to
switch to Standard input.
(probably '--' as this keeps '-' as standard input and gets round the
problem of recognising it as an argument rather than another incomplete
command line option.)

There's nothing built-in. You would have to implement it yourself.
