My one remaining problem with the xslt approach is that there are numerous "bugs" or "behaviour quirks" surrounding its use in FireFox.
RSS/Atom feeds in particular are problematic. What reading I've done on the subject so far seems to indicate that it will be another browser generation or so before it's truly well supported. With that said, I'm wanting to make the content a lot more interactive so I can implement bug 1323. As such, I'm going to try to gear this implementation such that multiple output formats are easily achieved. 2008/6/27 Tom Mueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > This would make the server more complex, but it could look at the Accept > header, and if text/xml is there, then send XML, otherwise send HTML or > plain text. > Tom > > Shawn Walker wrote: >> >> I'd prefer to keep the content simple so that it even works on "less >> capable" browsers. >> >> So sticking with "plain HTML" or "plain text" is desirable in my view. >> >> With that said, I'm open to being convinced otherwise. >> >> 2008/6/27 Tom Mueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> >>> >>> How about an XML document with a reference to a XSLT stylesheet. >>> See: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_xsl.asp >>> >>> Tom >>> >>> Shawn Walker wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> The line between a depot operation and "web interface" is a bit blurry >>>> to me.
