XSL Stylesheets which generate good looking customizable PDF output (and RTF) from a single XML source using Apache FOP as PDF formatter. May also be used as core library in your FOP stylesheet project.
Most asian languages are supported; avanced Back-of-the-Book index sorting routines included; plus translated boilerplate text library.

UWE.XSL was one big component of UWE (_U_WE is not a _W_YSIWYG _E_ditor) UWE aimed to be a simple but yet powerful web-based "single-source" word processor optimized for technical documents. Due to a lack of spare time UWE project was abandoned in Dec 2013.
Anyway, have fun with the stylesheets :-]
Hint:
You may map your custom DTD onto UWE.xsl's document structure by using a XSLT transformation. For examples you may investigate the folder "samples"...

For a complete DTD you may run Michael Kay's DTDGenerator on the sample XML and fine tune ;-]
document/meta/structure and document/meta/design elements are optional and options can also be set as transformation parameters, like so (windows batch) :
echo "generating A5 two column layout info format with technical style"
java -jar lib\saxon\saxon8.jar -t sample/uwe_manual.xml uwe_pretransformation.xsl >tmp/tmp.xml localize_file=uwe_localize.xml print_layout=columns print_format=info print_look_and_feel=technical print_header=longheader print_paper_format=A5
java -jar lib\saxon\saxon8.jar -t tmp/tmp.xml uwe.xsl >tmp/output.fo localize_file=uwe_localize.xml print_layout=columns print_format=info print_look_and_feel=technical print_header=longheader print_paper_format=A5
lib\fop-1.0\fop -c lib\fop-1.0\conf\fop.xconf tmp/output.fo -pdf sample/uwe_manual_A5_two_col_info_technical.pdf

and much more parameterization options... find out by yourself :-} Or if you dare you may also import UWE.XSL as core library into your stylesheet project and override some of UWE's XSLT templates...
- Java Runtime Environment
- Batch file run tested on Windows
Execute uwe.bat on your Windows command line and investigate output in folder "sample"
