I am having fun with XML stylesheets using XML data and XSLT and
XSL-FO, formatting objects. It will be easier when Tiger come out with
more XML support.
You can do a lot with the XML stylesheet. The language has a long
history. It is odd that it is consider a new language.
I use the Apache FOP open source project from xml.apache.org/fop I
was late to the Macos programming game and I found the Cocoa Printing
system to difficult to use. You can do a lot with just XSLT, and just
using HTML and importing it into a NSTextView.
I wrote a little method that converts an object into XML and put it in
a subclass of NSObject, It works great.

Hi guys,
Ok, I've gone and created my masterpiece application, and now I've
decided to add reporting facilities to it...
I've hit a bit of a wall with my searches on google, and I don't seem
to be searching for the right thing?
So, I guess does anybody know what I should be searching for? Does
anybody have any suggestions for a report generator (I guess it would
be like crystal reports for the pc, not that I have used that either).
What are people here using (I'm assuming people here have a need to
generate reports, which could be wrong) to generate reports (like
invoices, customer lists and the likes), do you do it manually in IB?
and if you do what do you use? a custom view with lots of code for
placing the elements?
Any help or advice on this matter would be appreciated,
Thanks
John.
