Hi Stefano,

We tried Stylesheetdesigner from Altova, its nice but you can�t change the
generated fo source-code by hand :-(
also XSLTFast ist really nice, but the same thing with the source editing.

Finally we wrote some preformed template code. eg implement the basic
components of your style-guide, like my Table-header always has a blue
background and a height of 5px ...

eg  a major Footer looks like
<ac:fo_paragraph type="confident"/>

This line is transformed by a self written transformer to a
<fo:block> section that says This information is confident!

That works also with more complicated structures like tables and saves a
lot of implementation time.

mit freundlichen Gr��en / kind regards
Manfred Weigel

Hi all

We are approaching the XSL-FO standard, but my boss is quite skeptical
about
the way to define XSL stylesheets to get formatted contents out of our XML
files. He's especially worried about the time-consuming translation of
graphics (e.g. tables, boxes, labels...) in XSL-FO language.

I am curious to know how you solved this primary issue: do you use a visual
WYSIWYG editor or just an essential text editor?

Thanks for the tips!

Stefano
