In developing some demonstration XML we have come across an issue we would like to resolve, perhaps the experts out there could help. >From a single source document, marked up in XML, we need to produce 4 output transforms, braille, large print, html and typeset. Additionally, we want (for local use) to be able to 'create' 'document type' (our own definition). Question: Should we be using the doctype as the switch, or an input to the output processing application (perhaps as a command line option). Our definition on document type goes something along the lines of (for one particular use) - an editors note, a report, a memo. [Seems logical to talk about document type in this way]. The spec doesn't give 'usage hints' for doctype, what are the perceptions from the authors? We are happy with selectable DTDs' (or not), but should we be alterning the source document simply to obtain output variants? That seems to go against the idea of many outputs from single source. Advice would be appreciated Regards, DaveP dpawson@r... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
