Re: Weird behaviour of Apache fop

Your xsl stylesheet is so bizarre... What are you using all these CDATA 
sections for? Why are you using
<![CDATA[<fo:block></fo:block>]]>
instead of just
<fo:block></fo:block> ?
Actually your xsl stylesheet works if and only if transformation result (fo 
document) is serialized and then reparsed again, because what are you creating 
by all these CDATA sections are not elements, but text nodes, as it's 
*character data*, not elements. And text output method - that's all kind of 
disable-output-escaping stuff, which is optional by xslt spec and have no 
chance to work in a streaming environment, like fop or cocoon or mozilla, when 
  transformation result is never serialized/reparsed again. Try to change you 
stylesheet to be more usual transformation, you don't need these CDATA and 
text output method to create xml tree.
