General concept:
-
(TBD) Structure of XML-files is predefined by the DTDs in the dtd-folder, which contains all the entities supported by the framework.
-
Basic transformations offered by framework -> offer general-purpose transformations -> located in transformation
-
Domain-specific XSL-Templates (e.g. html.xsl, rss.xsl) -> should normally only include a template with name "main", which contains the basic domain-specific structure for the created objects of this type -> located in content//templates -> definition of own templates is possible, but may cause name collisions with the imported templates provided by the framework -> each template may include the appropriate transformation template from the framework and use the provided templates
Process for final formats (such as html or rss):
- Transformation initiated by calling "xsltproc $PATHS {html,rss}.xsl .xml
- Framework-included template matches root element, may do some preparations (as in news2rss.xsl) and call the "main"-template.
- The "main"-template defines the common structure and calls the needed templates provided by the framework at the needed places.
Changelog to master (besides new architecture):
news2rss:
- Transformation of : -> removed insertion of and to make code more generic -> may in future be taken directly from the @author-attribute in the xml-file
