Re: Common Word Processing Format


Re:  Common Word Processing Format
Hi,

We use a schema to define different content pieces (article, FAQ, poll, 
callout, glossentry, etc) - basically global elements. The schema is 
basically XHTML, but removes the structural elements (HTML, HEAD, BODY) 
and DIV and SPAN. We replace DIV and SPAN with (hopefully) more 
semantically meaningful elements.

A user chooses a content type (global element) from a drop down and is 
presented with a project defined (or fallback) template to get started 
editing. When editing they can only use elements/attributes defined by 
the schema.

best,
-Rob
