Lone Wolves is happy to announce the ODF-XSLT project. The ODF-XSLT Document Generator is a library written in PHP 5 that brings the full power of XSLT to your OpenDocument files. It enables you to use ODF files as if they were plain XSLT templates. It also includes a few extra parsing options that allow you to edit the XSLT parts of these ODF from within your favourite office suite. ODF-XSLT is developed by Tribal Internet Marketing and is released by Lone Wolves as Free Software under the GNU General Public License, version 3.

ODF-XSLT is developed by Tribal Internet Marketing and is released by Stichting Lone Wolves as Free Software under the GNU General Public License, version 3.



The first release of ODF-XSLT is odf-xslt-0.4 and can be downloaded from our download section, together with a nightly snapshot of the subversion trunk. You can also check out the latest version directly from our subversion repository. The manual and API documentation are available from the project website.



Features



  • Based on the industry standard (ISO/IEC 26300) OpenDocument format.
  • Multiple document types supported (text, spreadsheet, etcetera).
  • Full XSLT support. Since XSLT is Turing-complete, anything is possible (in theory).
  • Templates can be edited from within your office suite, such as OpenOffice.org or KOffice 2.
  • Easily extensible by hooking in pre- and postprocessors.


Requirements



  • PHP 5.2 or later
  • PHP CLI for the commandline utility
  • libxslt and the PHP XSL extension
  • zlib and the PHP Zip extension


Acknowledgments



Many thanks to Heini van Bergen from Tribal Internet Marketing for allowing ODF-XSLT to be released as Free Software. Also thanks to Mirko Nasato who's JODReports software was a big inspiratrion for ODF-XSLT.
