Tool to create XSL:FO without stylesheet from Java?

2002-02-15 Thread Roland

Hello,

does anyone have a good tool to create an XSL:FO file without the use of a 
stylesheet?
The idea is to use the program to read in an XML file and convert it to 
XSL:FO. Basically you are substituting the stylesheet. The reason I want to 
do this is because I think XSLT is very complicated.

Best regards, Roland

You might want to look at jdom (www.jdom.org), a very nice DOM 
manipulation library for java.

Saxon (http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon) is also a good choice for 
this.

And if you do a search on google with jdom saxon xml you'll find a 
few more such libraries.

 The reason I want to do this is because I think XSLT is 
 very complicated.

IMHO XSLT is worth learning - the combination of XSLT with java is 
killer for working with XML.

Hi Roland,
have you tried FOA ? This is an authoring tool that helps you to
generate the XSL-T without knowing anything about it.
Please have a look: http://foa.sourceforge.net
