This is a very, very basic question. I'm self-taught using html, xml and css, so please forgive my absolute ignorance. My situation is as follows: I Know how to write XMl files, I can create the html output I want and use Css to style the page the way I need to. Now, I would like to print a book from this result. I need it to split the content of my html page into A4-pages, add page numbers and line numbers. What techniques do I have to learn to do this? I have read online that xsl:fo is used to transform xml to pdf. Is there any way I could use the html/css output with this or do I need to write an entire new stylesheet using xsl:fo? Do I need to learn javascript? I'm willing to do any of this, I just don't know where to start.
I had a look at importing my xml file into indesign and that would work, but then I'd have to do all the work of styling the text again. There has to be a better way.
