/ Alexander Schatten <alasan@gmx.net> was heard to say:
| <fo:external-graphic height="auto" width="auto" content-height="auto"
| content-width="auto" src="url(dilbert_747.gif)"/>
| 
| this works with xep, not with fop, when I change this to:
| 
| <fo:external-graphic height="auto" width="auto" content-height="auto"
| content-width="auto" src="dilbert_747.gif"/>
| 
| it works with fop. where is the problem? is this a fop problem?

Yes, it is a FOP problem. The solution is to set $fop.extensions=1 if
you're planning to publish with FOP. If you can fix FOP, so much the
better.

| btw. I am getting mad with all of these fo problems... there seem to

| except the extremly expensive xep.

I think it's premature to be angry. The XSL FO spec isn't even a
Recommendation yet.
