PassiveTeX (Re: TeX to PDF serializator)

[Andreas Kuckartz <A....@ping.de>]

A (hopefully) constructive suggestion.

There exist programs which implement XSL FO -> PDF transformations using
TeX.

PassiveTeX is Open Source, the Unicorn software is not. If someone tries to
use them with Cocoon please let me know.

Cheers,
Andreas

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, using a reliable pre-existing formatter
- Running PassiveTeX with the pdfTeX variant of TeX generates high-quality
PDF files in a single operation.
- PassiveTeX shows how TeX can remain the formatter of choice for XML, while
hiding the details of its operation from the user.
