Let me explain my situation a bit better. I have an application that generates a massive ammount of data dyanmically and stores it in an XML file. What I want to do is make PDF quality reports / forms out of this data. To do this I want to create an XSLT file that will generate an XSL-FO marked up version of the XML which FOP can gobble up and gimme a PDF. Since this all has to happen during -runtime- of my application, I am not looking for an IDE / end to end solution; ie: the XSLT file is only deployed with my app (XML is generated) So... I am looking for a "WYSIWYG" tool that can assist me in making a layout of my report and generates the XSLT file that will produce the XSL-FO markup. This means that I -need- the generated XSLT file. Most applications that I have looked at (ie: XSLFast) don't give you access to the XSLT (in fact I am pretty sure that it doesn't even generate it at all - I only see a binary file that it produces). I'm not expecting an XSL-FO application to solve all of my problems.. I am expecting to have to make modifications by hand to the XSLT file. But I thought it would save plety of time if I had a tool that can let me visualize the output. My alternative is to whip out a reference and start writing the entire XSLT by hand using the FO vocabulary.
