Limitation Producing PDF Output =============================== For PDF output "xmlto" relies on "pdfxmltex" (passivetex) which currently does not support the complete FO standard. If you encounter problems within this tool chain, try another FO processor like "fop". 1. Produce FO using "xmlto": xmlto fo file.xml 2. Run "fop" on the .fo file: fop file.fo Specifying HTML output encoding =============================== Make use of the --xsltopts switch to specify the HTML output encoding: xmlto --xsltopts '--stringparam chunker.output.encoding "ISO-8859-1"' \ html file.xml
