I have an index that I produce with XSL-FO in PDF format that has grown to
hundreds of pages. The file is updated quite often. Users of my website are
complaining that the file is too large and clumsy to use. I would like to
break it into separate files, one for each letter of the alphabet. That way,
users could download and use only the letter of interest.
I could break my XML file into separate files first, then run my current
XSL-FO file on each of those segments to accomplish what I want, but this
seems like brute force.
While I know how to break an XML file into separate files, I cannot seem to
get my head around how to do that with XSL-FO. I do not see how to take the
things that are done once (setting up odd and even pages, etc) and ask the
file to do that multiple times. Can someone make this a bit clearer for me?
Right now the XSL-FO is set up like this:
<fo:root>
... fo pdf creation stuff: layout, page-sequence, etc
<fo:root/>
<template>
.... my xml document processing stuff (many templates)
<template/>
How do I invoke fo:root more than once? Or have I got it all wrong?
Thanks,
Mark
