It is more to offer an "easy to implement" presentation where the user is not forced to write xsl to style his site. > I understand that this would be necessary to apply all plug-ins > to any possible publication, but I wouldn't want to trade absolute > presentation flexibility for that.

Hmm, that is the thing (s)he do not have to use an intermediate format. DocBook2intermediate would do the input plugin and intermediate2pdf the output format. The user will use DocBook to edit and pdf to publish. ...and I am not suggesting any intermediate format for publication specific content. I am talking about the internals, actually we *are* using intermediate format in our internals. Now we just should use them for our specs. > > I'd rather see "presentation packages" which simplify the creation > of "typical" Lenya applications (like websites). > like I stated above I see it the same way. Good you said "(like websites)" because other implementations the user would have to implement for themselves (right now). > -- Andreas salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!"
