Hi Ben, There are two problems. First, the document is wrong in that XHTML doesn't allow text directly in the element "body". You should wrap it in a block-level element such as "p" or "div". Second, the problem with FOP is that you have to copy the fop.jar file, which is in <FOP>/build/, to <FOP>/lib/. The manifest file in fop.jar expects to find the libraries as siblings in the same directory. Let me know if you make progress. Best regards, Werner.
