Re: [jats-list] future of Preview XSLT

[Tommie Usdin <btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kevin --

With NLM's sponsorship we at Mulberry are updating the preview stylesheets and
hope to release improved versions approximately when JATS 1.0 is approved and
released. Among the new features will be support forward to JATS 1.0 and
backward to NLM 2.3

We appreciate your bug report, and all other reports of infelicities. We can't
promise to fix everything but we will certainly try.

And once we announce the new stylesheets we hope you will test, comment, and
suggest improvements.

-- Tommie

these tools are in the public domain (produced, I suppose, by US federal
government employees as part of their job duties), one of us might wait till
JATS is approved as a NISO standard and then:
