Single-source (XHTML+CSS) Documents with XStory and Prince

davidpratten
Dear All,

The single-source world seems to be dominated by FOA, XSLT, and XSL-FO and by proprietary solutions.

Now there is an light-weight XHTML+CSS single-source solution that may be useful in your context.

XHTML+CSS has the advantage of simplicity.

XStory is a (Windows) GPL licensed GUI that provides WYSIWG story editing and arbitary webpage and pdf generation from ONE XHTML file and ONE CSS file WITHOUT changing the source story.

XStory uses Prince to do pdf generation.

For examples of XStory in use, download and more information see: https://www.jibekjoly.net/theshed/index.php?title=XStory

All the best

David
