I need to take a list of medications, display it on a screen which will
allow a user to edit the list, and print it in a number of different
forms (list for the patient, a hospital progress note, prescription
pads). The printed forms have lines, etc, and could have geometric
figures such as a logo. The input will likely be in XML.
The display could be done with XHTML. The printed forms could be done
using LaTeX commands, but I imagine it would be painful to program. I
could learn postscript. I assume Acrobat's pdf is proprietary and
cannot be used. I have heard of an XML based page layout language, and
such a solution would lend itself to an XSLT transformation.
Does anyone have suggestions?
