Subject: Working with Multiple DSSSLs From: droyter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 13:42:12 -0400 |
Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to use several DSSSL files to process a document. I'm not sure I'm able to accurately convey what I mean here. Is there a way to have a master.dsl with sub dsssl files off of it? For example, I have an sgml file and I want to lay it out in three different formats. One might need a different make page sequence than the others and another may need tables in it. But the rest of the structure is the same. Do I need to make three DSSSL files (one for each book) or can I create a master dsssl that looks to another for the make-page sequences, and another for the table design, and link them somehow in the master? Is this an external something-or-other declaration? I've tried searching the archives and I can't find what I am asking about. I suppose I would need to develop some sort of query language within the dsssl so it wouldn't get confused mid-way through. Thank you for your help, Darrell I ask this because I am using DSSSL to layout a several books. Each is roughly the same in structure, but they all have slight differences between them. Generalizing 85% of the formatting to one file would be a help and maintaining five dsssls would be better than nine. DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
