Free Formatting Tools

two independent implementations—DSSSL and XSL

originally created by Norman Walsh

now maintained by a group of several people

we need DSSSL processor to use them—Jade or OpenJade

supported output formats: HTML, chunked HTML, RTF, TeX (and thus PDF and PostScript), FrameMaker

we need arbitrary XSLT processor (e.g. Saxon, xsltproc, Xalan)

supported output formats: HTML, XHTML, chunked HTML, JavaHelp, HTMLHelp, FO, Eclipse Help, man, WordML

printed output (PDF) is generated from FO using rendering engine like XEP, XSL Formatter or FOP
