Hi I have posted a new version of the SGMLKit. You can download it at: http://www.netfolder.com, To fully use it, it is better that you download the document explorer too but now it should work with IE 4.x and IE 5.x browsers. We are working to integrate our stuff with Mozilla but some modules are not ready yet for integration. However, I should say that the new Mozilla rendering engine is fast. You can send bug reports to mailto:didierm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or simply ask question. the doc is very very rudimentary but the final release will contain full documentation. You can post your comments in the present list or directly to my mailbox. This version correct several bugs and add new features: - Full XML support. If a document includes a style sheet PI in the XML document will be associated to the correct style sheet for the following styles: CSS, XSL and DSSSL. If you have IE 5.x beta installed, the Microsoft CSS and XSL engine will process the document and display it in the browser. Jade engine will process the XML document with DSSSL styles. We followed the latest W3 recommendations about style sheets PI but got to add a new property because, the actual spec is limited to HTML display and do not include other kind of renderer. We added the "format" property so, for DSSSL styles you can select from the PI the output format. example: <?xml-stylesheet type="text/dsssl" href="../myScript.dsl" format="rtf"?> output is RTF and can be displayed in IE browser with the Word viewer or word itself. <?xml-stylesheet type="text/dsssl" href="../myScript.dsl" format="sgml"?> The output is HTML tags and displayed in the browser. This format gives you a lot of latitude. <?xml-stylesheet type="text/dsssl" href="../myscript.dsl" format="html"?> uses the experimental HTML FOs, still incomplete, but we are working on it and we implement new FOs. for XSL and CSS you cannot use the new stylesheet PI, use the previous one example: <?xml:stylesheet type="text/css" href="../myscript.xsl" ?> in that case, you don't have the format property because only HTML is supported. for DSSSL style processing you may use: <?xml:stylesheet.....?> <?xml-stylesheet.....?> <?stylesheet....?> I added a folder named sample\xml (under the sgmlKit installed folder) that contains several XML document and their associated styles. the folder contains: XML document -> xsl script -> html output (in IE5.x only) XML document -> css script -> html output (in IE 5.x only) XML document -> DSSSL script -> rtf output (in IE 4.x and IE 5.x with Word viewer or Word) XML document -> DSSSL script -> html output with James GI DSSSL extension (in IE 4.x and IE 5.x) XML document -> DSSSL script -> html output with the work in progress html backend (in IE 4.x and IE 5.x) with these files you'll be able to compare all these styles. If you have the document explorer, you just have to point and click on XNML documents icons (the left pane) to see them displayed in the docview (the right pane). You'll be able now to compare all this and even do benchmarks!!! Thanx to several people of the DSSSL list who helped debug my DSSSL script (sorry, I am better with C++ than DSSSL but I improve my DSSSL skills everydays :-) regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
