Re: [xsl] Converting XML into ODT document to print as paper

["Eliot Kimber ekimber@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 My Wordinator project (http://wordinator.org/) provides a general XML to DOCX
framework that uses the Apache POI library to generate full-featured Word docs
from a simple XML format that you can generate from whatever. I provide a
basic HTML transform as a starting point.

Cheers,

Eliot Kimber
