It can be created with OpenOffice or any other editor that reads and writes ODT Files. 2. It's XML Based so you can minipulate it and create it with XSLT if necessary. 3. It has built in PDF generation. 4. It's multi-platform and doesn't rely on just being in a UNIX environment. As for FOP, FOP is good (I use it all the time), but you have to stick with the XSL-FO that it supports, if you go outside of that, you don't get the good features. So, my recommendation is the OpenOffice Format, and you then have the ability to automate it to generate HTML, PDF, Word, ODT, etc. Dave |
