RE: Best XSL-FO WYSIWYG editor
Hello, What is the simplest way of converting file.xml => file.fo => file.pdf Second part is straight forward, I just need to feed file.fo to FOP to generate file.pdf Is there any simple way to convert file.xml to file.fo ?? Is there any tool that does this job or do I need to write my own Java parser for converting file.xml to file.fo Please advise me.

Re: Best XSL-FO WYSIWYG editor
Ok, then I would really encourage you to look into Excelon Stylus Studio, I use it for exactly the scenario you describe, and it has served me well. It has FOP "built" in, and all that is needed for a complete xml-xslt-fop->PDF generation is the click of a button. Amit Bhatnagar wrote: I dont fully understand the description of the features you need, but if being able to use one IDE to do the full flow from xml through xsl to fop and pdf in an effortless way, including the possibility to debug xsl transformations, then Excelon Stylus Studio is my candidate. It is however not WYSIWYG - if you by that mean that you would specify a xml file and then do WYSIWYG editing and have the editor generate the xsl stylesheet for you. 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.

Re: Best XSL-FO WYSIWYG editor
Take a look at http://www.xslfast.com Version 1.05 is available now, although a newer version is about to be released relatively soon. The current is okay, but a little clumsy at times. -robert.

Hi, have a look at xml-spy under www.xmlspy.com I use it and i'm very satisfied with it but doesn't automatically saves xslt files from xml if that is, what you are looking for. It only allow you to integrate all components to simple do transformation xml->xsl->fo->pdf via a mouseclick. regards christian At 17:05 28.11.2002 -0800, you wrote: Can anyone recommend the best WYSIWYG XSL-FO editor / app that saves a XSLT file (which will then process my xml document into an xsl.fo marked up, when then can be processed by FOP) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Best XSL-FO WYSIWYG editor
I dont fully understand the description of the features you need, but if being able to use one IDE to do the full flow from xml through xsl to fop and pdf in an effortless way, including the possibility to debug xsl transformations, then Excelon Stylus Studio is my candidate. It is however not WYSIWYG - if you by that mean that you would specify a xml file and then do WYSIWYG editing and have the editor generate the xsl stylesheet for you. Amit Bhatnagar wrote: Can anyone recommend the best WYSIWYG XSL-FO editor / app that saves a XSLT file (which will then process my xml document into an xsl.fo marked up, when then can be processed by FOP) Its necessary for me to be able to create my layout and then save the xslt file.
