Hi, Congrat's with the job! I just saw your plea for help on the XSL-list. And I have kind-of a solution. I've been working on making a XML/XSL based PHP5 (OOP)-solution for a while now, and got to the point that I wanted to implement some kind of XML-wysiwyg-editor (GPL) for end users. I looked at Bitflux XML-editor, but that wasn't easy to use. Finally I choose to use a really good inline-xHTML-editor, tinyMCE, and translate the xHTML input into my "customer" XML-markup using a XSL-stylesheet. The resulting XML was stored into a database. This publishing system, called WPS (or YaWPS), will be released open-source in a while, but I do not mind sharing any of the resources in advance; The stylesheet to translate xHTML to XML (a markup I came up with for my customers to use, you might want to change that to your needs): http://xsl.i-v-o.nl/tiny_mce/xHTML2XML.xsl And from my XML to xHTML: http://xsl.i-v-o.nl/client.xsl (view the source from that) Any other info on the WPS is still in dutch only... Good luck! Ivo Toby On Wed, 2006-03-08 at 16:45 -0600, Walter Torres wrote: > I just started a new job!
