On Linux ibve used Antenna House, PrinceXML, PDFReactor... Antenna
House with XSL-FO or with CSS, the others with CSS. I wrote XSLT to
transform the JATS markup into (X)HTML5 + CSS for PrinceXML and
PDFReactor. And rotated wide tables automatically :-)

For editing, Oxygen XML Editor runs on Linux, and they have a Linux
(and a macos) download, and you can run the formatter from within
the editor.
