[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Reminder: XML online
I announced this about three months ago and am just repeating it for the benefit of anyone who recently subscribed to the list. If you are looking for generated XML to test your XML application, you can find it at our Sun documentation server, docs.sun.com. This site (not yet widely publicized) exists primarily to serve out HTML generated on the fly from our SolBook (DocBook) database of Solaris manuals. To see it operating in normal mode, just point your Web browser at http://docs.sun.com. In addition to its normal HTML output, our AnswerBook2 team has rigged docs.sun.com to generate an unsophisticated but copious alternative XML data stream if you know how to ask for it. HOW TO GET XML The AnswerBook2 (ab2) manuals on docs.sun.com are organized into several large categories (alluser, sysadmin, etc.) with a number of books in each catagory. Thus, the Solaris Advanced User's Guide is referred to in URLs as /ab2/alluser/ADVOSUG. Two forms of XML access are currently supported: TOCs and document chunks. TOCs are accessed via the @xmlToc template, and chunks are accessed via the @xmlChunk template. The @xmlToc template always shows a table of contents down to the chapter level, no matter what level it is invoked at. Some examples: 1. To get a chapter-level TOC of the entire contents of the server: http://docs.sun.com/ab2/@xmlToc 2. To get a chapter-level TOC of the manuals in the alluser category: http://docs.sun.com/ab2/alluser/@xmlToc 3. To get a chapter-level TOC of the Solaris Advanced User's Guide: http://docs.sun.com/ab2/alluser/ADVOSUG/@xmlToc 4. To get a particular chapter from the manual (as listed in the TOC): http://docs.sun.com/ab2/alluser/ADVOSUG/@xmlChunk/1120 Jon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Bosak, Online Information Technology Architect, Sun Microsystems ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2550 Garcia Ave., MPK17-101, Mountain View, California 94043 Davenport Group::SGML Open::NCITS V1::ISO/IEC JTC1/SC18/WG8::W3C XML If a man look sharply and attentively, he shall see Fortune; for though she be blind, yet she is not invisible. -- Francis Bacon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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...)
