You had to mention DITA, didn’t you? ;-)

We’ve made FO stylesheets for PDF output from Author-IT, those typically take a 
couple of days. The DITA Open Toolkit looks positively byzantine by comparison.

Hi Harro

If you can develop an FO stylesheet for DITA-sourced content in only 3 times 
the amount of time it takes me to develop the same DITA-FMx template, then we 
should talk. We may have a lot of work for you then. ;-)

Cheers

That's not been my experience with FO templating. I've seen FO templating take 
maybe 1.5-3x as long as in FrameMaker. $200k sounds more like they developed an 
entire formatting engine.
