Hi,

Here is a link to an article about Tony Graham HTML library. This is
targeted to novices who want to use DSSSL and the SML/XML browser kit as a
tool for document rendition. It is not well advertised nor well known that
both SGML and XML documents could be rendered with DSSSL.

The article takes a simple XML document and get its element transformed into
HTML for rendition. Off course, in the scenario explained in the document,
rendition is client side. Thus a XML document is first downloaded by the
local browser and then transformed into HTML objects to be finally displayed
in the browser. The same library, as some may already have tried, could be
use to transform SMGL or XML documents on the server side.

This article goal is to show that a DSSSL scripts used as rendition tools
are not more complex than XSL. The library facility adds the power to create
new objects not mentioned in the original specs. James additions to DSSSL
made this possible and we all thank him for this useful feature. Also,
thanks to Tony for still working to push DSSSL limits.

Here's the link:
