You might also want to take a look at Scriptura from Inventive Designers
(http://www.inventivedesigners.com/scriptura)

In short... it's a GUI designer for XSL-FO documents. You can merge XML or
JDBC data, add barcodes, use conditions, etc... It's focused on report
generation, but you can also use it without specifying data
to generate static pages.

It's a commercial product but there's a free trial available.

Well, I have submitted a request to start a project with SF.net.

It will take a few days, and then we can hopefully use those resources as
to open a discussion.

Hopefully we can garner enough interest to kick the project off. or at
least thrash out a terms of reference.

Probably, but I believe the primary task now is to give some attention to avt 
viewer in redesign branch and only when it's ready, extend it by adding edit

Exactly, i wasnt intending to suggest that you guys pick this work up. But
this forum seems the best to maybe chat about it and even spin another
group off. Plus there is lots of expertise out there and I may have missed
a piece of software.

So it seems I have to either instigate another tool, or go the word style

I don't know of anything out there right now that does what you are looking
for. FO is not intended to be an editable format, but rather an
intermediate
format. The advantage to using FO is that it can be created pretty easily
(using XSLT) from semantic XML. If you don't need that advantage, but need
a
WYSIWIG editor and PDF output, and don't mind paying for it, I would
recommend either Microsoft Word or Adobe FrameMaker. Word's limitations are
well-known, and FrameMaker has two that were major for us -- lack of
Unicode
support, and some footnote problems. There are other page layout engines
that can create PDF as well, some with XML integration -- Arbortext comes
to
mind, but I am much less familiar with their products.

In the long run, I am hopeful that some method will be devised that will
allow the FO document to be tied back to its original semantic XML document
so that the semantic XML document could be reconstructed from the
WYSIWIG-editable FO document (or area tree document). A user could open a
document pointing to 1) the semantic XML document, and 2) the appropriate
stylesheet, edit it in a WYSIWIG session, then save the underlying semantic
XML and stylesheet documents. This would be the best of all worlds, but I
do
not even yet have a clear idea that it is feasible. I agree strongly with
Rhett that there is quite a bit of work left to just get FOP's existing
mission completed, but the great thing about open source is that no one can
(or would want to) stop you from working on such a project if you wished.

for. FO is not intended to be an editable format, but rather an intermediate
format. The advantage to using FO is that it can be created pretty easily
(using XSLT) from semantic XML. If you don't need that advantage, but need a
WYSIWIG editor and PDF output, and don't mind paying for it, I would
recommend either Microsoft Word or Adobe FrameMaker. Word's limitations are
well-known, and FrameMaker has two that were major for us -- lack of Unicode
support, and some footnote problems. There are other page layout engines
that can create PDF as well, some with XML integration -- Arbortext comes to
mind, but I am much less familiar with their products.

In the long run, I am hopeful that some method will be devised that will
allow the FO document to be tied back to its original semantic XML document
so that the semantic XML document could be reconstructed from the
WYSIWIG-editable FO document (or area tree document). A user could open a
document pointing to 1) the semantic XML document, and 2) the appropriate
stylesheet, edit it in a WYSIWIG session, then save the underlying semantic
XML and stylesheet documents. This would be the best of all worlds, but I do
not even yet have a clear idea that it is feasible. I agree strongly with
Rhett that there is quite a bit of work left to just get FOP's existing
mission completed, but the great thing about open source is that no one can
(or would want to) stop you from working on such a project if you wished.

Hi all. I wonder if I can get some help.


I am currently using fo and fop to generate pdf documents for a large bank,
and it works beautifully.

We get the XML and apply a stylesheet to produce the document.

However, we have a requirements that means our using should have the
ability to edit the document. That means presenting an editor for the
generated fo.

Is there such a wysiwig editor availabe that ayone knows of ? I have done a
lot of searching, but they all seem to be very poor.

There is foa, but that is very complex.  I just want to edit fo, not play
with other custom layout documents.


If this does not exists, maybe to fop community, and I include myself in
that should being a project to write an editor.

The other alternative is to go fo->rtf rtf-> fo. But conversions are
never satisfactory.

Any suggestions would be greatfully received.


Regards


Paul.

RE: RE : Antwort: fo wysiwig editor

2002-09-27 Thread Rhett Aultman

To the best of my knowledge, FOP is a Formatting Objects processor and renderer.  
There isn't a subproject in this group for a WYSIWIG FO editor.  It would seem we're 
up to our gills in work working on FOP already.  I'm certain that there's a desire out 
there for a free, open-source WYSIWIG FO editor, though, so perhaps you'd be 
interested in marshalling some people together to do it.
