My current thinking is that HTML+CSS through some tool like AntennaHouse
Formatter or PrinceXML (or other similar tools) is the way forward. If I
had the time, I’d be happy to work on XSL FO stylesheets. But I don’t
want to do the job badly and I don’t have the time to do it well.
The xslTNG distribution includes HTML-for-paged-media customizations
that (almost) generate reasonable results. I’ll have a PDF version of
the reference guide as an example “real soon now”. (There are a couple
of issues I still want to fix.)
I know that some folks will be disappointed by the lack of XSL FO
support. Programming in XSLT 3.0 is fun, if someone wants to work on the
task! :-) All I ask is that they be well tested and well documented.
Be seeing you,
