Announce: Multi-lingual printing UBL 2.0 Invoice to PDF now freely available

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Crane Softwrights Ltd. is pleased to announce the 
free availability of a Java-based environment to 
print a UBL 2.0 invoice to PDF using the United Nations Layout Key.

This environment currently supports English, 
Italian and Spanish box-labels, and the 
documentation describes how you can help Crane 
support the presentation of any other 
language.  We would be pleased to make as many 
language versions of these stylesheets freely 
available from our web site.  Thank you to 
Roberto Cisternino and Oriol Bausą for their 
assistance with the existing translations.

Crane also thanks Visual Programming Ltd. of New 
Zealand http://www.xmlpdf.com for their generous 
and talented support in releasing a version of 
their XSL-FO processor to be used for this free environment.

To obtain your copy of this environment, follow 
the "Free resources" link from our home page 
linked below.  Then follow the links "OASIS UBL, 
UN Layout Key, XPath and Code List Resources", 
"OASIS UBL resources", "Printing and displaying 
UBL", "Printing UBL 2.0 instances to the UN Layout Key".

I'm not posting the direct URL because it is 
bound to change.  Those who are using the UBL 
Codex stylesheets to display UBL instances in 
HTML without any XML angle brackets will find 
that I've moved the location of that resource to 
this same page.  Had I posted the link before, it 
would now be a dead link in the archives.

Please ask any questions off-list.  We are 
anxious to receive feedback regarding the 
installation and use of this environment.  While 
some things seem obvious to me, I would like to 
make sure using the environment is easy for others.

. . . . . . . . . . Ken

p.s. the UBL Human Interface Subcommittee (HISC) 
needs assistance in divining the UBL 2.0 mappings 
from XML to the UN Layout Key for other documents 
... please contact me if you can work with the 
UBL committee to help us.  Thank you.
