Searching good XSL-FO (formatting objects) tutorial for converting XML->PDF

[Harry Zoroc]

I would like to learn some XSLT-FO handling procedures and need a good tutorial.

Unfortunately most of the links in Google refer to books, lessons, XML syntax

What I need is an easy step-by-step guide for installing and applying all necessary tools
for converting a simple lets say "Hello world" XML doc into pdf with XSL-FO

Does someone know such a quick start guide ?

Try looking for a tutorial for using Apache's "fop"? (Actually, I'd
expect it comes with a simple hello-world sort of example...)

Hello Harry,

Then, it depends, what rendering tools you are going to use.
For example, for XEP Rendering Engine (www.renderx.com) you can read more
