Hi David, No its not hard to implement. But it is slow: a) transformation from SGML/XML into Tex (with OpenJade) b) transformation from Tex to PDF ( with pdftex) c) finally Display the document with Acrobat. The best solution and the fastest also is: scenario 1: a) transformation from SGML/XML into Tex b) rendition in techexplorer scenario 2: a) transformation from SGML/XML into PDF b) rendition in Acrobat Scenario 1 and 2 are a lot faster. Also, the best scenario for me is to fix only DSSSL bugs and not having to fix other bugs in other languages, this is too much. Also, if I would have scenario 1 or 2 I can download a SGML/XML document form my intranet and get it rendered in either techexplorer or Acrobat PDF viewer. The transformation done a) on the client side or b) on the server as fast as possible. In the case where I have client side transformation, we have a lighter charge on the server. Otherwise, if we can get a fast transformation into different formats (and the clients having different document viewers or plug-ins)we then have the concept of a XML or SGML server on top of the actual HTML server. regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of David Carlisle Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 1999 10:39 AM To: dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: html to dsssl ? > If JadeTex would have its output directly interpretable with the > IBM tex plug-in we would have for a XML document: No chance of that:-) But why is having the tex interpreted by techexplorer easier than having it interpretted by pdftex? You don't have to _look_ out the output from the tex backend (modulo fixing bugs of course) you just stuff the output from jade straight into pdftex and then into acrobat. I don't see why that is harder than using techexplorer. > What we gained, simply ease of use. ?
