∟RenderX XEP Example - Borders.fo

This section provides a tutorial example on how to run XEP tool in a command line window to process an example XSL-FO document provided by RenderX.

Now let's run a test with XEP to process an example XSL-FO document using commands below in command window:

herong> copy \progra~1\RenderX\xep\examples\basic\borders.fo .
        1 file(s) copied.

herong> \progra~1\RenderX\xep\xep -fo borders.fo -pdf borders.pdf
(document [system-id file:/C:/herong/borders.fo]
  (validate [validation OK])
  (compile
    (masters
      (sequence-master [master-name all-pages]))
    (sequence [master-reference all-pages]
      (static-content [flow-name xsl-region-before])
      (static-content [flow-name xsl-region-after])
      (static-content [flow-name xsl-footnote-separator])
      (flow [flow-name xsl-region-body])))
  (format
    (sequence [master-reference all-pages]
      (flow [1][2])
      (static-content [1]|xsl-region-after||xsl-region-before|[2]
       |xsl-region-after||xsl-region-before|)))
  (generate [output-format pdf][1][2]))

herong> dir borders.*
         13,430 borders.fo
         22,299 borders.pdf

Nice. A 2-page PDF file is generated. If you open borders.pdf with Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will see some block areas with different types of borders on the first page:
