Jade
Version: 1.2.1
Company: James Clark
Overview
Jade is a DSSSL formatting enginen that
includes the following components:
An abstract interface to groves. This is designed to be implementable on top of a database, in addition to simple in-memory implementations.
An in-memory implementation of this interface built with SP.
This is multi-threaded (on Win32 only at the moment): the grove can be accessed before it is complete and access to a property of a node will block until that property becomes available. This allows the style engine to produce output before it has read all the document.
A style engine that implements the DSSSL style language.
A command-line application, jade, that combines the style engine with the spgrove grove interface and five backends:
A backend that generates an XML representation of the flow object tree.
A backend that generates RTF. This has been tested with Microsoft Word 97 and Microsoft's free Word Viewer 97. Previous versions were tested with Word 95 and Word Viewer 7.1.
A backend that generates TeX.
A backend that generates MIF.
A backend that generates SGML. This is used in conjunction with non-standard flow object classes to generate SGML, thus allowing Jade to be used for SGML transformations.
Availability: Win95, Win98, WinNT, Unix
