RE: [xsl] XSL-FO plain text processor?

["Brian Martinez" <Brian.Martinez@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can only guess that by "formatted plain text" you mean using a
monospaced, ASCII-style character set.  You can probably achieve what
you want with either XSL-FO or XSLT, but if you're not getting the
expected output, then you need to provide a small sample input document,
the stylesheet code you've tried, and an example of the output you want.
(And note that I have no experience with XSL-FO, but there are others
here who can help.)

Cheers,
b.
