Subject: Constructing Groves in DSSSL with Jade From: "W. Eliot Kimber" <eliot@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 29 Jan 1998 14:21:20 -0600 |
Am I right in thinking that Jade gives me no way to explicitly construct new groves out of the box? The challenge I'm facing at the moment is that I want to be able to address objects by URL as part of an HTML output transform. In my documents I have location addresses like this: <urlloc id="some-web-resource">http://www.foo.com/blah.html</urlloc> My generic location address processing translates a reference to the URLLOC into a node list. Ideally, it would be a node in a "Web resource grove", which might have a property set like this: <propset> <classdef rcsnm="webresource"> <propdef rcsnm="url" datatype="string"> <propdef rcsnm="genurl" fullname="generated URL" datatype="string"> </classdef> </propset> My URLLOC would use its content to construct webresource groves from which my output processor could generate the necessary hrefs. However, I don't think Jade gives me a way to construct such groves. Obviously I could provide my own grove constructor function and link it into Jade, but that's a bit beyond me just at the moment. Of course, what I really need is a complete HyTime engine that can construct a HyTime semantic grove for me. That's being worked on, but it won't be ready by say, the end of today. Is there a way to do or simulate what I want with unmodified Jade? My current plan is simply to assume that any continguous sequence of datachar nodes is a URL, which is a hack but it will work for now. Thanks, E. -- <Address HyTime=bibloc> W.
