Does anyone know how I can display preformatted html text like:
<ol>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ol>
inside a pdf generated with fop?
Thanks

This XSLT 1.0:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="my-page" page-width="8.5in" page-height="11in">
<fo:region-body margin="1in" margin-top="1.5in" margin-bottom="1.5in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-page">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ol">
<fo:list-block provisional-distance-between-starts="24pt" space-before=".1in" space-after=".1in">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:list-block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="li">
<fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
<fo:block><xsl:number format="1."/></fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
applied to your input will produce the following XSL-FO:
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="my-page" page-width="8.5in" page-height="11in">
<fo:region-body margin="1in" margin-top="1.5in" margin-bottom="1.5in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-page">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:list-block provisional-distance-between-starts="24pt" space-before=".1in" space-after=".1in">
<fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
<fo:block>1.</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
<fo:block>item 1</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
<fo:block>2.</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
<fo:block>item 2</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
<fo:block>3.</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
<fo:block>item 3</fo:block>
</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>
</fo:list-block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
which will produce a PDF that contains the following (tested with FOP 1.0):
Use the attributes linefeed-treatment="preserve"
and white-space-collapse="false"
Either escape the HTML:
<block linefeed-treatment="preserve" white-space-collapse="false">
<ol>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ol>
</block>
Or use CDATA:
<block linefeed-treatment="preserve" white-space-collapse="false">
<![CDATA[
<ol>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ol>
]]>
</block>
