I've got a project that requires me to read in some RTF documents (basic stuff, text w/fonts and formating changes) and pass it to a tool that reads XML and plays with the data. The XML tool changes a few things in the document and I need to have a RTF file as the final output so 1: read RTF, convert to XML (not a problem) 2: pass XML to tool (not a problem) 3: get XML result and write XML final version (not a problem) 4: convert XML back to RTF (omg is this complicated!) The basic conversion isn't difficult, but I need to retain all my font and style attributes from the original RTF. I understand this requires the use of XSL, so I need to get an XSLT from the original RTF > XML conversion and keep that for use in the XML > RTF conversion. I am trying to wrap my head around XMLT, XSL, FO and getting more confused by the minute. So my immeadiate question is: How do I generate the FO and XSL files necessary for this conversion? I keep seeing "generate your XSL.." how? question 2 is: Given the simple nature of the transform needed, what tools (unix) should I be looking at? thanks -zaq
