[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: Export to PDF and Import from Word

[kristian@xxxxxxxxxx (Kristian Mandrup)]

Hi there,

I have successfully created a small Java/Groovy framework using XSLT and 
apache FOP and XFC (from Xmlmind.com), that transforms the EPF XML export 
to one or more PDFs. 

* PDF representing the default view (could be changed to create for all or 
a particular view)
* PDF representing each of the major categories of MethodElement, fx a PDF 
with all the Tool and ToolMentors (with internal PDF links!)

One could "easily" extend or customize this framework.

I have since then discovered the xsmall framework 
https://smallx.dev.java.net/
I'm now in the process of rewriting my "patchwork" framework to something 
more usable!

I have also been working on automating the import of content written in 
Word, using "save as html". I first took the path of trying to generate 
linked .xmi files, but now I am taking the path of generating a single XML 
file that follows the EPF XML Schema, to be imported using EPF "import 
from XML".
Both methods could potentially work, and each have its own strenghts...

Since I'm as of yet not a committer, I'm not sure where to post any 
finished "product". Any ideas?
