Include attachments in PO_SOURCING_XSLFO

Question

Is there way to embed the actual content of the attachment (if it a Word Doc or a Text file) in the report?
ie...is there syntax in xsl-fo that will allow us to specify a file name and will embed the text of the attachments for the Sourcing Style Sheet?

Answer 1

I would suggest you to try the following:
Let’s say, you have Word document preliminarily saved in WordML format (Word XML) – Text.xml.
And a trivial XML file, used in transformation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root/>
To embed the Word document using XSLT, you might use the following XSL code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
xml:space="preserve">
<xsl:variable name="word-file" select="document('Test.xml')"/>
<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:copy-of select="$word-file"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This solution is based on XSLT usage and should work. But in general, for Word files conversion and embedding it to XSL-FO it looks more natural to use WordML2FO stylesheets, i.e. to transform the WordML document to XSL FO and embed the result into the destination document, in XSL FO format.
