I assumed that, given that 90% of people creating XML are also creating websites, there should be something like this out there, but despite an exhaustive (well, 10 minutes or so) search, I couldn't find any schema or DTDs describing websites. But, like you say, it was certainly good exercise rolling my own. Thanks for the other tips Jim. One question: > - make the concept of webpage a one to one mapping, each xml > / xslt should be considered a web page, instead of putting it > on a template basis, will make sense later on. Do you mean that, instead of one XML file detailing everything on the website, I should use a collection of XML files, one per page? At first I couldn't understand why this will make sense later on, but I guess perhaps you mean if I choose to actually build the website using the XML as a data-source? I had thought partway this far - that I could spit out skeleton HTML files based on these definitions - but I think my head would spin if started trying to get every aspect of the final website into the XML files. Then again, yes, perhaps it will make sense _much_ later on :) Dan XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
