I am attempting to recover from a design error I made last year. Then, from
a raw XML file, I produced a driver file (Listing 3) that was used to output
HTML and PDF files. However, the requirements for the project changed and
that driver file was no longer adequate. Last week on this list, G. Ken
Holman provided me with part of the answer [xsl-list email; subject:
Inlining blocks in FO]. In an attempt to solve the more complex problem, I
produced a new driver file (see Listing 2). I had hoped to apply Ken's
solution for the simpler problem to this more complex one, but was defeated.
What I want is shown in Listing 1. The "Title: citation; citation." comes
from the <Articles> and is there to indicate that once everything is brought
together, I still have to process the <Article> elements in the way that Ken
suggested last week. I know how to format the FO output, what I do not know
is how to process the new driver file to produce the desired output. Clearly
my for-each-groups are not correct. The main templates for my failed code
(the supporting templates are not included, so the code will not run), are
in Listing 4, and its FO PDF output in Listing 5.
Any help or hint gratefully received. Mark
