 I am wanting to set up some style sheets to produce output text and HTML ISOGEN has done this. I've developed a generic Java library to support just this task (although it's not limited to XSLT processing, but it was originally designed specifically to support XSLT-based processes). The library is offered through an LGPL open source license. With this library you can have a single XSLT transform that will handle the generation of text for any set of national languages through the use of a central "generated text database" document. It also provides features for configuring and generating back-of-the-book indexes (intended specifically for XSL-FO but could be used with any output target). While the library's functionality could have been implemented entirely in XSLT, I created the library for the following reasons: - I wanted to be able to use the same functions, especially generated text management, in non-XSLT contexts (i.e., XML editors) - I thought it would be easier to develop, test, and deploy as Java code than as XSLT code. See http://www.isogen.com/downloads/cool_tools/i18n_support.jsp for more info. I also spoke about this code in the context of producing internationalized back-of-the-book indexes with XSL-FO at Extreme Markup 2002. That paper is also on the ISOGEN Web site (downloads->white papers). I will be speaking about internationalization and localization of XSL-FO in general at XML Europe in May. Cheers, Eliot -- W.
