Summary


This chapter looked at XML and DSSSL and demonstrated how you can use jade to convert XML code into RTF (for display in Microsoft Word), into MIF (for display in Adobe FrameMaker), or even into HTML. I haven't covered all the conversions that jade can handle (there is also, for example, a very good TeX backend). I haven't even taught you very much about DSSSL itself, and I have intentionally kept the technical details to a bare minimum. However, with the help of a few cookbook examples (there are quite a few more available on the Web, as well as a DSSSL mailing list that is a ready source of help and advice from some of the best experts out there), I hope I have demonstrated that whatever happens with XSL, DSSSL is here and you can easily do some exciting things with it.
