XSLT and XSL-FO are related as variants on XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language). However, FO refers to Formatting Objects, whereas XSLT refers to Transformations. The difference being that XSLT transforms from one format to another and FO is intended to be used in areas where exact output/positioning is required - such as in printing. 1. Antenna House XSL Formatter - An XSL-FO processor for Windows [Commercial]. 2. TeXML - Although this is not an XSL-FO tool, it is used in typesetting. Given that it was posted in 1998, it would probably be overtaken by XSL-FO now. The materials also include an example of MathML markup transformed into TeXML, with PostScript generated using TeX. 3. XML.com: Using Objects - An article tutorial which shows how to set up XSL:fo pages. 4. XMLmind FO Converter - An XSL-FO to RTF converter [commercial, free for personal use]. 5. XSL FO Tutorial - A learn-by-example tutorial, to facilitate reading the specification by giving a series of commented examples. 6. Apache's FOP Project - Open source XSL-FO implementation; converts XSL-FO to PDF and other formats. 7. html2fo - Generates valid FO documents from almost any (even badly formated) HTML file. Freeware. 8. PassiveTeX - PassiveTeX is a library of TeX macros which can be used to process an XML document which results from an XSL transformation to formatting objects. PassiveTeX provides a rapid development environment for experimenting with XSL FO.
