RE: xml2html using dsssl

hi

You may use Tony's library for this,


Your code should be more like:

(element book
	(make HTML
	   (process-children)
	)
)

The process-children is: all elements contained in the "book" element and
the book's character data. So, the above construct tell the DSSSL engine to
_make_ a HTML tag and insert in it:
a) the character data (if there is any)
b) the other children converted elements

So if for example the book element contains a section tag like below:
<book>
	<Section>
		<chapter>
	</section>
</book>

Then a rule like:
(element section
	(make body
		(process-children)
	)
)

will have all tag contained in the section tag to be processed (the
process-children) instruction.

Then the produced code by the above two rules would be:

<HTML>
	<BODY>
		all processed children
	</BODY>
</HTML>

So where you place the process-children is important. It tells the DSSSL
engine to place all processed children _within_ the tag like for instance
the first rule tells the dsssl engine to generate the following code

<HTML>
	processed children
</HTML>

then all book's children are processed and this result in firing the second
rule and thus generate the following code:

<HTML>
	<BODY>
		all processed children
	</BODY>
</HTML>

Got it?

Here is an article that could provide you more explanations. If you still
have questions after having read it. Don't hesitate to ask, we'll be pleased

Hi!

I need to generate some HTML using files in XML.
How can I do this?

I've tried to use:

(element book
	(make element HTML
		(make element HEAD
			(make element BODY
				(process-children)
			)
		)
	)
)

but jade said:

jade:carHTML.dsl:8:2:E: "element" is not the name of any flow object class

Help me....

Rita
