help with document print

Hi guys,
i'm trying to make a website for a jewelery so the user can print
warranties for every jewel it sold.

My first try was: let the user create an openoffice document with
variable placeholder {tag} that I substitute with the real value of $tag
and then open the document (with mimetype application/vnd. ...) for print.

Now user want to be able to insert formatting and styles to the text so
I can't mantain the same structure if I user FCKeditor or similar
because these products returns a string with HTML code inside that I
have to translate to OO.

I want to use pdf that is more standard in web application but I don't
want to create the document "by hand" because it's a user task!

So if there's some methods to take a pdf template (made by user) and
substitute placeholders inside with an HTML formatted text, I'll be happy.

Any of you as some hint?

See <http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php> and the user note that
refers to <http://www.tufat.com/html2ps.php>. It sounds like what you
are looking for.

It's a pretty solution but... It's difficult for the user to create a
template for the document like using MS Word or OpenOffice.

There seems to be no XML parser that can do validation in the Python Standard Libraries. And I am stuck with Python 2.1.1. until my web master upgrades (I use Python for CGI).

And even if I could, the compiler I have access to would be different than what was used to compile python for CGI. I need to write a CGI script that does XML validation...

As various people will have noticed, I've been having a lot of trouble with XSL lately. Brief history: I wrote myself an XML toolkit back in 2000, and it worked well enough for me, so it's been little changed since. However, it works only with an obsolete version of Saxon (6.2.2 I think), and it has a number of small bugs; and I've at last got to the point where I need to fix it. And I'm finding it, frankly, absurdly frustrating and...
