Re: How do I style an embedded <strong> in the text from the XML input?

Hi Markus.

I have done something similar, under the following assumptions:

1) the node "text" contains HTML 3.2 formatted text with tags like
<strong>, <b>, <emp> <color>
2) inside the XSL I call a xhtml2fo.xsl like this:

<xsl:include href="com/manticore/profit/xsl/xhtml2fo.xsl"/>

<fo:block linefeed-treatment="preserve" white-space-collapse="false">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="description"/>
</fo:block>

("description" is my equivalent of your "text" node).

Attention: when you want to deploy xhtml2fo.xsl inside your JAR, you
will need to hand over an URL resolver to FOP:
        // Setup XSLT
        TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
//        factory.setURIResolver(
//                new URIResolver() {
//                    @Override
//                    public Source resolve(String href, String base) throws TransformerException {
//                        return new StreamSource(ETLBox.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(href));
//                    }
//                });

I have the xhtml2fo.xsl, maybe it will help you.
Cheers
Andreas
