Re: [xsl] Conversion from xsl to xsl:fo

["L Rutker" <lrutker at hotmail dot com>]

Even if your solution would work it would be of limited help due to what I 
assume is the inability of a stylesheet to deal with my css file that 
contains the bulk of formatting. It was for this reason that I asked if 
there was a "tool".
Let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks
