> Subject says it all. Is there such a beast? Could be commercial or open > source. In the professional software category, for use _almost_ exclusively with Arbortext Editor, there is the Arbortext Styler product. Styler can export an XSL-FO stylesheet with or without Arbortext extensions. I've used Styler to produce XLS-FO stylesheets for print and to produce XSL-FO stylesheets that get translated to FOSI for a document's online "edit-view" within Arbortext Editor. Styler worked great, excepting a very few bugs that PTC Arbortext promised to fix in the next release (footnotes, some XPath difficulties, other minor issues). That release has been available now for a few weeks as Arbortext Editor 5.2. I have not yet tried version 5.2. In the open source world, strictly for creating DocBook XSL-FO stylesheets using the DocBook XSL package, and it's not exactly WYSIWYG, you can point and click through a Java GUI that outputs an XSL-FO stylesheet suitable for use as a DocBook XSL customization layer. It's an open-source application called DocBook XSL Configurator, available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/db-xsl-cfg It's useful for people leraning DocBook and DocBook XSL. Steve Whitlatch
