You might want to take a look at our product, called Scriptura XBOS. (The
XSL Business Output Solution). It uses XSLT and XSL-FO technologies to
generate output. Is supports XML, database and **flat text files** as
input. It can generate **HTML**, PDF, **RTF**, PCL, AFP, XSLT and XSL-FO as
output.

It you take a look at
http://www.inventivedesigners.com/scriptura/action.html and choose the 'A
text or spooled file as data source' demo. If you are interested, you can
request a free trial.
