ANN: New release of the DSSSL XML/SGML Kit.

["Didier PH Martin" <martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ANNOUNCEMENT:

-------------------------------------------------------
A new version of the XML/SGML kit for IE 4.x and IE 5.x
has been posted at:
http://www.netfolder.com
-------------------------------------------------------

This new version includes:
- bug fixes
- A new processing instruction implementation for xml documents. The media
property is now processed and used to determine the output type. In this
version, only the screen media value is supported (aural and print are not).
The output types rtf, html, tex and mif are supported
Example: <?xml-stylesheet href="myscript.dsl" type="text/dsssl"
media="screen,html"?>.
- The MIF output type is now displayed as text in the browser's window after
having been processed by the DSSSL engine. The resultant text can be saved
from the file->save as menu option.
- The RTF type is displayed "inplace" in the browser's window either with
Word or the word viewer.
- The html type is equivalent to the jade's sgml type. Either Jade DSSSL
extensions or Tony Graham (Mulberry) html macros could be used. The
resultant html document is displayed in the browser's window.
- If no media property is declared, then the default media is set to html
and DSSSL Formatting object are converted into HTML+CSS elements. The dsssl
style sheet root object should be set to "scroll" instead of
"simple-page-sequence" or any other "page" formatting objects.

The new DSSSL style sheet processing instruction for MEL document is
implemented for test purpose and is subject to be commented and then further
adjusted from these comments.
