I have a requirement in XSL:FO where in if a XML Node does not have a value or XML Node is not present I need to substitute �INC�, currently if the node is not found I get a blank value in that place, I need to substitute that with �INC�.
I had a quick look through an XSL-FO tutorial to familiarize myself with the product. I only saw elements that described how the output should be organized. I didn't see any elements that transformed the data. I think if you need to transform the data before formatting it, then XSLT is the tool you should use for that.
On my planet I'm considered quite beautiful. Thanks to the poetry in this tiny ad:
