Subject: Re: [dssslist] Conversion of dsssl stylesheets to xsl From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 13:57:35 +0100 |

This would probably be quite hard to do automatically (although necessary if you intend to move your processing logic to XSLT, ie do a one-off conversion and then maintain xslt from then on. If the intention is to maintain the dsssl but to benefit from the wider range of FO formatters, an alternative would be to keep the programming logic in dsssl but to generate XSLFO format xml output, either by an XSLFO output output option to jade (yes please:-) or by taking the existing xml flow object back end (-t fot) and then converting that file to XSLFO (with dsssl or xslt, according to taste) I'm sure I remember discussion of such a converter but google didn't show anything. Covering the whole dsssl spec would be hard but a basic converter for some basic set of dsssl properties and flow objects wouldn't be hard, probably.
