I need to convert XML files into PDF, going to do it through XSL-FO. The source XML file have their structure and dictionary (NITF) and should not be changed. I have to create the specific XSL styler for these files. Out of the whole XML elements there are only a few I need:
text < p > < ul >< li >
tables < tr > < td >
images < media-reference mime-type="application/gif" source="foo.gif" >
So far I've managed to convert the textual part of the XML files. And I can process the files containing just a simple table with fixed column number. When I try to process both text and tables in the source file, I get transformation errors. The (bad working) styler my.xsl is attached as well as the source file. The errors are kind of
org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: "fo:table-body" is missing child elements. Required content model: marker* (table-row+|table-cell+)
