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

I think we're having trouble understanding what you mean by "formatted plain
text". Surely it's either formatted or it's plain?

Plain text to me means stuff like this email - fixed width font, no
formatting apart from spaces and newlines.

Hi, Brian,

My source is an XML file. I need an output in formatted plain 
text. That means, there is text arranged in a table like 
style, some text is right aligned, some text is indented, 
there are free lines and it needs to be page-broken. So 
that's why I started with XSL-FO. FOP is 80% ok, but I need a 
better output quality.

Ciao!

Kai

Hi there,

I'm looking for a solution to create a formatted plain 
text file from 
XML. Currently I try apache FOP Processor with XSL-FO input. but I
    
can't
  
get it looking as I want, I always have misformations, 
missing or to 
much spaces or empty rows, even clipped characters. I would like to
    
know
  
if you know any alternatives to that?

Kind regards,
Kai
