XML is becoming more and more prevalent in all aspects of information creation, exchange, distribution and storage. In order to make use of XML-based content it must be converted to any number of formats for display or to another XML format that can be re-used in another application. Typically these conversions are performed by XSL transformations that are part of simple toolsets or integrated into a larger application.

Some sample XSL implementations we have done are: The US Navy re-creating their existing PDF technical manuals from a legacy non-XML process to an all XML to PDF process. The College Board re-creating complex lessonplans and assessments in a custom XML content model to look like their printed books in both PDF and HTML. Houghton Mifflin in multiple ancillary publishing systems and an assessment engine converting XML to PDF and HTML.

Wrycan is an expert in XSL and XSL-FO, including the following:

XML Conversion

• XML to XML (grammar to grammar) conversions
• XML to HTML conversion
• XML to Formatting Objects (FO) to PDF (experience with FOP, Render X, Antenna House)
• XML to SVG
• XML to Flash (via Open Laszlo)

XML/XSL Integration

• XSL Editor Integration for WYSIWYG XML Editors like Altova's Authentic and StyleVision, and Xopus
• User Interface Design/Implementation with XSL
• XSL Application Architecture and Caching
• XSL Development Methods and Frameworks
• XSL Pipelines with Multiple XSL and Non-XSL Business Rule Based Transformations
• XSL Extension Function Creation and Integration
• XSL Customization for DITA Open Toolkit
• XSL Customization for Docbook

The following are links to demo content that Wrycan has created using XSL to modify the XML content. If you would like to see a proof of concept of what we can do to your XML, please contact us.
