Hi Massimo.
I've not used any visual XSLT design tools, though I've heard of them.
But I have used an approach in Cocoon where your layout is done in html
(using any html editor - we used DreamWeaver). In the template HTML, you add
a few extra attributes to refer to the data (the content of the page), e.g.
<span template:for-each="breadcrumb">. You can also use
attribute-value-templates in your html, and variable-substitution in the
text of the html, like this:
<table>
<tr for-each="topic">
<td>{topic-name}</td><td>{topic-value}</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can use the HTMLGenerator to convert the HTML layout to XHTML, transform
it into valid XSLT, and you have a XSLT stylesheet without too much XSLT,
written in a generic HTML editor, with a few extra "custom" attributes etc
(not usually a problem).
Cheers!
