[REBOL] From XML to HTML (using stylesheets)
From: tooki::widebay::net::au at: 12-Nov-2000 20:34
Hi,
I'm new to the list, though I have been following REBOL from it's first
appearance on the Web.
At the moment I'm looking into new technologies for the company I'm working
for. One option they're thinking of is to start using XML to describe all
kinds of information they want to offer to their customers. They are looking
at XML as a universal descriptive language, which will then be plugged into
many different 'delivery formats', such as Internet browsers, email, fax,
pdf-files etc. I'm very enthusiastic about REBOL and REBOL/View and would
like to put together a demo to show my company its many benefits. I'm not
too sure about REBOL's ability to handle and translate XML though. I've
played with the 'parse-xml' command, and see how the whole XML content is
placed into a tree-structure. That may be nice, but also hard to navigate
(i'd rather have had a tree of nested objects, for instance, which would be
far easier to navigate and manipulate). Is there anyone out there who has
already done some XML-to-HTML conversions? Ideally with the use of
style-sheets (such as XSL) to determine the look-and-feel for various
delivery platforms?
I think I would be able to come up with something myself, eventually, but
REBOL is quite new to me, and I'd rather start with some properly documented
examples and take it from there.
