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

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.

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
