The following LAML XSL-FO examples exist in this directory.
Via use of Apache FOP as post processor, it is possible to produce PDF files from a LAML source. The examples image-test and table-test illustrate how it can be done from XML-in-LAML sources via XHTML to XSL-FO transformations.
| Kind | LAML file | FO File | PDF File |
| Hello World | hello-world.laml | hello-world.fo | hello-world.pdf |
| Simple test of images | image-test.laml | image-test.fo | image-test.pdf |
| Simple test of tables | table-test.laml | table-test.fo | table-test.pdf |
The XHTML to XSL-FO transformations in lib/xml-in-laml/transformations/xhtml-to-xsl-fo.scm (as used in the two last examples) are preliminary, in-progress, and still not complete.
LAML can activate a FOP processor via the post processing facility of the function write-xml and process-xml. Please consult the documentation of write-xml.
Here are my own post processor defintions for files with extension "fo":
(define fop-system "/pack/site-java/fop/fop.sh")
(define (fo-process full-target-file-path-with-extension)
(let ((initial-path (file-name-initial-path full-target-file-path-with-extension))
(proper-file-name (file-name-proper full-target-file-path-with-extension))
(ext (file-name-extension full-target-file-path-with-extension)))
(system
(string-append "cd " initial-path "; " fop-system " " proper-file-name "." ext " " "-pdf" " " initial-path proper-file-name "." "pdf"))))
They are located in my personal .laml file.
