Whitehill XSL Composer released
Mentioned
last month on XML-DEV by Ken Holman, XSL Composer is presented as
"the industry's first real-time, WYSIWYG, Drag and Drop stylesheet generator". It is targeted toward webmasters more than XSLT developers.
The online manual gives the following description:
<xsl>Composer is a Web site creation application that is used for developing
corporate Internet or intranet sites. <xsl>Composer's WYSIWYG
("what-you-see-is-what-you-get") environment allows you to incorporate such things as tables,
hyperlinks, frames and graphics into your web site.
More specifically, <xsl>Composer is a tool for developing XSL stylesheets.
These XSL stylesheets dictate how information stored in existing XML files will be
presented on your web site.
These XSLT stylesheets are generated after the user has defined the layout of the site
and its pages, and the rules between the XML documents and these pages. The stylesheets do not seem
to be updatable.
Thus XSL Composer appears to be a competitor to existing web site creation tools, rather
than the XSLT development and debugging tool
expected by
Len Bullard and other developers.

amol :) Re: Whitehill XSL Composer released (viktor gritsenko - 11:15, 27 Jul 2001) Cool for XSL which produces HTML.
What we really really need is
the same wysivig editor for XSL which produces PDF by way of XML:FO.
It may rely on Jakarta FOP XML-XSL-XML:FO-PDF rendering engine.
!!!! important !!!! Re: Whitehill XSL Composer released (Chris Gallon - 20:21, 16 Jun 2001) The current release of Whitehill <xsl>Composer now supports the inclusion of pre-exisitng XSL and has, as part of the product, a context sensitive editor. This really is a more comprehensive product than Stylus and XML Spy. I heard that Nortel evaluated the three and bought a site license of Composer. For $ 299 you can't go wrong. |
