Hi,
I am relatively new to Stylus development, and have some questions please.
In the past I have created some XSL:FO templates for generating pdf reports using FOP.
However, I have recently discovered the XML Report tool in stylus, which can also be used to create XSL:FO templates. The advantages i can see are the drag & drop functions of this tool, and could save time.
Question:
1. Does anyone know if this tool is good for producing XSL:FO templates?
2. My reports are quite complex, and would sometimes span many pages, would this tool be able to cope with this?
3. In your opinion, would this tool save time?
I guess I'm asking if there are any limitations I should be aware if deciding to enforce the use of this tool within our development framework.
