Subject: Re: Web Front Page using XSLT From: Eric van der Vlist <vdv@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 18:03:05 +0200 |
Matt, The front page of 4xt (http://4xt.org/) is built by a XSLT transformation reading information from 3 different RSS documents a XML template file and the source document specified in the URI. This could have been done using external entities, but (see a recent thread), I have preferred to implement it using elements as links and the XT document extension. The way I do it is that, on the root template, I apply the templates on the layout document (which is the same for all the pages on the site). In this layout document, I have included at the places where I want to include the dynamic stuff, elements such as <document-body/> or <document-head/> which are used as call-backs to tell XSLT to apply templates on the source document. The source document have similar "call backs" asking to include the n first elements from a RSS document...
