Jade is James Clark's implementation of DSSSL -- Document Style
Semantics and Specification Language -- an ISO standard for formatting
SGML (and XML) documents.
OpenJade is a project undertaken by the DSSSL community to maintain
and extend Jade. OpenJade is distributed under the same license as
Jade.
OpenJade is a command line application and a set of components. The
DSSSL engine receives as input an SGML or XML document and transforms
it into formats like:
* XML representation of the flow object tree.
* RTF format that can be rendered and printed with Microsoft's free
Word Viewer 97
* TeX format
* MIF format that can be rendered and printed with Framemaker
* SGML or XML format. This is used in conjunction with non-standard
flow object classes to generate SGML, thus allowing OpenJade to be
used for SGML/XML transformations.
