Or will there be separate XSL-FO stylesheets at some day? My current thinking is that HTML+CSS through some tool like AntennaHouse Formatter or PrinceXML (or other similar tools) is the way forward. If I had the time, Iâd be happy to work on XSL FO stylesheets. But I donât want to do the job badly and I donât have the time to do it well. The xslTNG distribution includes HTML-for-paged-media customizations that (almost) generate reasonable results. Iâll have a PDF version of the reference guide as an example âreal soon nowâ. (There are a couple of issues I still want to fix.) I know that some folks will be disappointed by the lack of XSL FO support. Programming in XSLT 3.0 is fun, if someone wants to work on the task! :-) All I ask is that they be well tested and well documented.
