I would like to know if it is possible to use XSLT to create a
document, like the above example, from an XML file.
I'm still new to XSL/T so i'm not really sure of its limitations, or
even if this is something i should be attempting with with it.
When i think about it transforming to plain text doesn't sound right,
but some expert opinions would be good :)
XSLT doesn't have any built-in support for wrapping paragraphs and
layouting tables. You can do this sort of task in XSLT, but it is a lot
of work.
I would suggest you little bit different approach. Write stylesheet that
will produce HTML output from your XML files. Then use some text-based
web browser (lynx, links, ...) to render this HTML into plain text. This
way HTML browser will take care of laying out text -- which is the
hardest part of your problem.
