XHTML as presentation "normal form"?
Subject: XHTML as presentation "normal form"? From: Paul Holser <pholser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 08:55:44 -0500 |
the application i'm working on generates content of several different markup types (HTML, HDML, WML). we'd like to move to XML morphed by XSL stylesheets. however, it's not as simple as just wrapping some presentation around XML data--sometimes the presentation is data also (button labels, headers, etc.). we're considering using XHTML as a "normal form" of presentation, which can then be pecked at by XSL stylesheets appropriate for a given target markup type. my thought is that this would save us from inventing our own XML vocabulary for presentation, if XHTML's capabilities could be considered a superset of those of HDML/WML. with the above in mind... 1) are there freely available stylesheets that can transcode XHTML to roughly equivalent HDML/WML? 2) if yes to 1), do these stylesheets handle HDML/WML's notion of "decks" and "cards" well? 3) does my approach seem reasonable? thx, p -- // Paul Holser, Infrastructure Specialist // Phone: 972.726.4560/1.800.OBJECT1 x4560 // E-mail: pholser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx // --------------------------------------- // ObjectSpace, Inc. // The Leader in Business-to-Business Solutions // http://www.objectspace.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
