The html is parsed and converted to xml on uploading (or saving) the html file. Mainly css styles are used by the editors for the text markup. Invalid markup is removed and is generating a warning message popped up to the editor. Except for some bugs still in the system, that works pretty well. Maybe today's client side xml editors provide a good alternative though. Christian - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've known AxKit very well for years, yet that book still managed to add some coherence to that knowledge -- I'm sure reading it will be beneficial to any AxKit user (and likely, to any Cocoon user). I'd have to agree with this. Using the section on producing dynamic XML is what helped push me over the edge from XSP to building my own custom providers. Kip's been harping on me for some time that Providers are a way easier development paridigm, but I just hadn't grok'd the concept until I read his book. Okay... okay...

RE: Announce: O'Reilly's XML Publishing with AxKit
I highly recommend Xopus (www.xopus.com). It's an XML Editor that runs in the browser and lets users edit an XSL-styled page in WYSIWYG fashion. It is schema-aware (any arbitrary schema!) so that it can ensure what is submitted is valid. The XSL is applied live, i.e. if you are sorting an element in the XSL, and use the editor to add a new element, it pops into its correct place. There are many other cool features too, a demo is available on their site. It's IE-only (for now) but Bitflux (www.bitfluxeditor.org) is the equivalent editor for the Mozilla engine (though I haven't tried it). -Original Message- From: Tom Howe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 4:42 AM To: Kip Hampton Cc: GARY Hoffman; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Announce: O'Reilly's XML Publishing with AxKit You might be better off looking at xml programs like Altova's XMLSpy/Stylevision, Stylus Studio or cooktop. These all provide friendly interfaces for developing xml/xslt content and templates. I know some of the fancy content management systems (like percussion) can generate xlst from html created in dreamweaver and stylus studio can take html content and map it to xml files. Programs like Dreamweaver and Golive are mostly design oriented, you can take the html they generate and feed it into your xslt stylesheets, but dreamweaver itself doesnt yet support XSLT to my knowledge. tom On Thu, 22 Jul 2004, Kip Hampton wrote: GARY Hoffman wrote: Has anyone used AxKit in conjunction with DreamWeaver or GoLive or a similar program with respect to creating dynamic content for an otherwise static site?

Announce: O'Reilly's XML Publishing with AxKit
Howdy Axers, Yes, the rumors are (finally) true... _XML Publishing with AxKit_ has been published and is now available at bookseller near you! For more information, please see the Table of Contents below and visit: http://www.axkitbook.com/ I did my best to make sure that book has something for everyone, regardless of their familiarity with AxKit. New users will find detailed but concise coverage of the common topics of XML-based publishing, as well as need-to-know level introductions to XSLT, XPathScript, and XSP. AxKit veterans will find advanced publishing techniques, exhaustive API references for each of AxKit components, and clear strategies for (and examples of) how to extend AxKit to meet new or specialized requirements. It is my sincerest hope that the book will not only help to inform the current members of the AxKit community, but will serve as a tool for AxKit advocacy and means for developing a larger and stronger community in the future. If you pick up a copy (I know some folks here already have) be sure to share your thoughts by posting reviews on your favorite tech site or blog of choice-- the more people that know about AxKit, the more likely they are to leave their creaky 20th century tools behind. Thanks for enduring my little pitch; we now return you to your regularly scheduled AxKitting, already in progress... Cheers, -kip ps.
