XSLT is fully adapted to XML/XML(fo or other target schema) since it was the design basis…
My experience is: − good xslt is (relatively) easy to design as soon as you master the underlying data model − xsltproc is REALLY REALLY fast for xslt 1 processing − if you want something smarter, go for java with saxon/xerces, which is performant too… I'm the devil's advocate but what's your need to use ConTeXt. I have not read all your threads but if you just need: − to produce pdfs from xml data − without advanced typesettings you could use xslt to produce DocBook 5 xml file, include them using <xi:include href="./data/stuff.xml"/>, configure your layout with an intermediate xslt + Fo xml config… Once more, it depends on your original ecosystem and constraints… If you provide a use case, I should provide a sample if you don't need it within a couple of hours (but a couple of days)… Best regards, Renaud Le 14/11/2010 22:36, Peter Davis a écrit : > On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 4:31 PM, Hans Hagen <pra...@wxs.nl> wrote: > > >> On 13-11-2010 4:14, Peter Davis wrote: >> >> >>> On 11/13/10 6:03 AM, Renaud AUBIN wrote: >>> >>> >>>> Uh ?
