Subject: Jade FAQ sorely needed From: Frank Wegmann <wegmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 30 Apr 99 22:11:54 +0200 |
As some of you are actually on the way for an improved Jade this would also be the right moment to establish a FAQ for installing/using Jade (in its current form as well as in its future yet-to-be-shaped form). I did't yet work too much with Jade, but felt a FAQ would be very valuable to newcomers. Some very good work has been done already (e.g. the tutorial by Prescod and especially the Documentation Project hosted at Mulberry), but material typically covered in a FAQ is not always (or easily) found. This is what I think should be handled by a FAQ: * General Aspects What's Jade? in general, with regard to CSS/XSL/XFO... - what's implemented? * Installation Issues The Easy Way - How To Compile Yourself (hey, nobody told me about how to compile on my NeXT, but it works!) How To Configure a Working Environment (here I see a chance for the Debian guys to step in with some remarks..) * Using Jade How to use the backends - some common scenarios (got XML/SGML, now where is the HTML output?), Common Pitfalls * DSSSL (*not* intended to interfere with DSSSL Doc Project etc.) Expression Language - Transformation Language - The Standard (uh oh) Typical Constructs Needed and Used Workarounds for features not (yet) implemented Well, this is not thoroughly reviewed, just popping off my mind, sorry. Nevertheless I think it would be a contribution to the community and attractive for newcomers. If people appreciate this idea, I would gladly step in as a maintainer and even start writing some items (if some of you are willing to correct my non-native English). Any comments?
