(commercial) applications using DSSSL

[Pieter Rijken <pieter.rijken@xxxxxx>]

Lately, I've been looking for products or tools based on SGML.
Once you've created an SGML document, there comes a time you
want to print it. For this most tools and applications (e.g.
ADEPT, Adobe FrameMaker, Interleaf) I found on the internet
use a proprietary 'layout' description/language for generating
PDF, PostScript, whatever.

The only tools for displaying SGML documents which are based on
DSSSL I found are Jade and the DocumentExplorer.

These are excellent, however, at my company most people are
interested in GUI's and not ascii based editors (I don't see
why, because the same people still write C-code in 'vi' or
'lse' (OpenVMS text editor) :-) but that's another question).

My question is:

Does anyone know of a (commercial) product which has a GUI for
creating DSSSL?

This would help a lot in convincing colleagues to use DSSSL!

regards,

pieter


P.S. Is it doable to write such an application using Qt, Xt?
     From the DTD a grove structure can be determined (the SGML
     document itself is just an instance based on the DTD) which
     should then be mapped to SOSOFO's. Are there any libraries
     available for representing a DTD in terms of a grove?

     If this is silly I would like to hear that too! :-)
