We do quite complex document template filling (50 page documents, conditional text etc.) already, using perl and latex.
This is quite good, looks very nice etc, but the set up of a new template (especially a large one) is quite complex and requires a knowledge of LaTeX and perl. Until now it has been reports of our own services which were output in PDF (using pdflatex) which was fine, but now we would like to output in a format which is GUI editable whilst still holding document structure (e.g. change a heading and the table of contents is updated) Has anyone used other solutions for something similar? I was thinking my options were: XML + XSLT -> rtf OpenOffice scripting -> rtf, pdf, doc OpenOffice for layout -> latex -> rtf/pdf latex2rtf doesn't seem to hold document structure well, even skips the table of contents alltogether openoffice latex output plugin looked like it was doing things "the right way". any pointers, tips, experiences cheers -- Woody -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
