Re: parsing post script

  Guys, I require to parse a PS file. I know that its possible to render a PS
  file with XSLT, but is the reverse possible?
  Thanks,

It would be very hard to produce any usable Postscript directly from
XSLT, and virtually impossible to read PostScript.

PostScript is a fully featured programming language. It is no doubt
theoretically possible to write a PostScript interpreter in XSLT, but
it would be thousands of lines of code, and rather slow, compared to
using a real postscript interpreter as built in to a 
PS printer, or an emulator such as ghostscript.
