Hello,

the application you mention already exists - see http://sourceforge.net/projects/db-xsl-cfg/. But it does not cover all aspects described bellow.

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.
