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.

We may have a lot of work for you then. ;-) Cheers -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu<http://www.scripto.nu> On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 12:19 PM, Harro de Jong <Harro.deJong at triviewgroup.com<mailto:Harro.deJong at triviewgroup.com>> wrote: 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.
