Hi All ,

        I am working on converting the data in an xml file to html and rtf format both.

Following steps are used.
1.XML is first transformed using xsl which results in more or less like html format .
2.The result are then stored in html directly .
3.To save in RTF format MS-Word API is in VC++ . which takes the transformed data from xsl and save as rtf format .

Every thing is fine and documents can be saved in html and rtf format .

But only when i need to insert images I have problem.

I am using <img> tag in xsl .

Statement is something like this in xsl file

<xsl:element name="img">
<xsl:attribute name="src">sing.bmp</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

This is inserting image in html file .But not in rtf file .There is big blank space in rtf format document .

Can any one help me why this is occuring .

It sounds like a problem with C++ code that converts the html to rtf. Is it your code or a third party product?

I agree with Joe. You need to verify your rtf files are including the appropriate rtf "syntax" for bringing in a graphic. Open your rtf file in notepad or some simple text editor and search the text for "INCLUDEPICTURE" or "sing.bmp". I quickly searched an rtf file of mine and pasted a snippet of an included figure example below.

{\fs4 INCLUDEPICTURE \\d "C:\\\\UserData\\\\XMLProjects\\\\Test\\\Sample.gi f" \\* MERGEFORMATINET }

Hope that helps....

Many Thanks to both joefawcett, shbyland for giving some light for my problem.

joe,

I am not writing any raw rtf statements and also I am not using any third party software.I am using word API to convert HTML Stuff to rtf .

shbyland,

I serached for INCLUDEPICTURE in the rtf document .I found
INCLUDEPICTURE \\d "C:\\\\DOCUME~1\\\\prasadb\\\\LOCALS~1\\\\Temp\\\\ sing.bmp"
That means it is searching in default directory .Since there is no image in that location it is not displaying .

Image sing.bmp is located in \images under current directory .

How do I point to this directory instead of default directory.

Presumably you need to have a full url to the file, not just a relative one.
As you are doing this from code anyway you can just pass a base path in as a global parameter to the stylesheet.

hi i'm interested in converting xml to rtf through xsl, can you help me explaining how did you do it,
what was the parser you make use of ?

can i autogenerate this process ?
(like when a user of my system ask to generate a particular letter.. my program will get the xml element values fr oracle and then parse the xml file to become xsl and than save it as rtf ?


my system written in java

i'm on xp

thanks in advance
