Re: xslt question - I think

Tim,

XSLT already supports pagination. If you look at the XSLT-FO
specifications
you will find that pretty much anything you might need is defined. The

biggest question is performance. The only implementation that I know of

is FOP. You can get it to run over about 40-50 pages, maybe more if you
have
a lot of memory and a fast system but I wouldn't count on it. If < 40
pages is
OK I would look into it.

I started to build a common view of data that could be used to go to
the
Web, Print, Handheld, etc. and found that what I was developing looked
a
lot like XHTML so I just adopted XHTML, which works for now but with
XHTML
2.0 the formatting elements are gone. Pages are all generated as XHTML
and
then transformed to print using FOP. I look at the stream size being
passed
to FOP and disallow large streams.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

I have XML data, Purchase Order and Invoice Data...

I was asked to create a web view of this data, either for web purposes,
or
e-mail or Faxing.

My questions is this:  Printing!!!  Whats the best way during the XSLT
process to count line numbers, and set page breaks..  And what html
code or
css would I need to force a page break for printing on a browser print
or
fax card.

Thanks, tim
