- Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Customizing XSL-FO for IEEE style articles
Hello all,
I have just started using XSL-FO with fop for generating documents, and
I am very impressed.
But I have reached the end of my knowledge when it comes to
customization.
Basically I want to make a customized xsl-fo output format that will
give me something similar to an IEEE article format. Namely, I need...
- Title, abstract, and authors centered at the top of the first page.
- Body of article content split into 2 columns per page
- Auto numbered section headings
- Customized fonts and sizes for the heading styles
- Custom bibliography format
So the first page would need to look something like (excuse my ASCII
art).
(page 1) (page 2+)
-------------------- --------------------
| Title | | | |
| Author(s) | | | |
| Abstract | | T | T |
| | | | | |
| T | T | | E | E |
| E | E | | | |
| X | X | | X | X |
| T | T | | | |
| | | | T | T |
| 1 | | 2 |
-------------------- --------------------
I am learning everything that I can about XSLT since I know that I need
to make some customizations to the xsl-fo rules, but I was wondering if
anyone could give me some pointers in the right direction (or examples
if this or anything close has been done before by someone else).
Thanks,
Allen
