2. Generating the Pages pages. One of the problems is that, unlike the production of an HTML document from an XML source using XSLT, the processing of the children of the root elements is not a simple xsl:apply-templates from within a root element. Much more initial output is required in order to enable the formatter to generate the pages. Let's look at the processing necessary to get from your XML document to a PDF printable document. First, the XML must be fed to an XSLT processor with an appropriate stylesheet in order to produce another XML document which uses the XSL-FO namespace and is intended for an XSL-FO formatter. The second stage is to feed the output of the first stage to the XSL-FO formatter, which can then produce the end product: a printable document, styled for visual presentation.
