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.

Dear all,
I would need to convert XML to something that has a fixed page layout ready
to print, like ODT/OOXML or PDF.
I know OOXML is complex, but since the final document needs to be printed and
keep the same layout, probably HTML output is not good for this (I guess!).
What I need at the moment is just a quick and dirty proof of concept to show
that this conversion is feasible and not too difficult, to show it to
decision makers (I'm not a XSLT developer myself).
This is my input (sample):

And this would be my output:

My first thought was to unzip the ODT model I have, look at the content.xml
inside and then try to transform my XML into that same structure (as
suggested here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38298174/directly-convert-a-single-xml-file-to-docx).
However, probably that's the hard way...
I'm doing some research, any tips or pointers or advice or recommendation or
examples here would be highly appreciated. Is there any best practice to do
this? or a ready-made solution?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Manuel
