Hello,

I have always dreamed of a graphical application that would allow
someone without a CS degree to customize the XSL-FO stylesheets.
A first version would concentrate on customizing specific parts of the
stylesheet, like:
- standard customization parameters, clearly organized, with choice or
value validation
- personalization of attribute sets, proposing a reduced set of
parameters available in XSL-FO
- customization of specific zones like title pages, headers, footers

All this should be very flexible: aka it must be easy for a programmer
to propose new parameters (for example the logo filename to appear on
the title page) to be added  to the interface. So I thought maybe the
extra information needed to build the interface could be coded in the
XSL itself... To be discussed.

Anyone interested in that?

Camille.
