[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: [MISC] How was the XSLT 2.0 norm written (tools,
If I remember correctly from the W3C mailing lists, there's always been
a lot of debate about form, tools and layout. In the early days, it was
just plain HTML that was written (maybe they were modern and used emacs)
but later, at least for some specifications, they put the content in a
data format (XML?) to ease the formatting process. However, the file is
real: it is hosted as a document.
If we have a look at the source for the XSLT 2.0 spec, the following might surprise you: <meta name="generator" content= "HTML Tidy for Mac OS X (vers 1st December 2004), see www.w3.org" /> which makes one think or guess that at least some editors worked from the Mac and didn't trust their HTML (or XSLT transformation?) skills. Thinking it through, my memory fails me and I can't find any reference. Perhaps somebody more acquainted to the W3C can shed a better light on the subject. But I like the question ;-) Regards, Abel Alain wrote: Hi XSL experts,
