There are some wysiwyg/visual xslt design tools, like 'stylus studio' (http://www.stylusstudio.com/xslt_designer.html) and 'MoreMotion Web Designer' (http://www.moremotion.com/webdesigner/index.html), which are (as far as I know) all commercial, closed-source and win-only ;) > >How do you all do it? > >The software preferably should be open source and linux. > >Personally I create the screen using an html editor then edit the xslt >by hand... In my experience, I get pics (ranging from layered photoshop files to pdf's) created by graphics professionals. I then create the html and especially css by hand (using emacs with nxml-mode and css-mode). As I'm mainly contracted for making XHTML-strict sites, the HMTL is mostly very simple and the CSS more complex. That's why I find it hard to imagine why anybody would want a visual xsl editor for html-templates (xsl:fo is of course an other story). When my contractor is happy with the results, I create the xsl's by hand (using emacs with nxml-mode) and generate the html-output. This has three advantages; the graphic designer can use his/her favorite tool, the output (html) is clean, correct, good looking and working and I make a living ;) Regards, Ronald --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
