so i can take an e-text, run it through some converter located somewhere on the site (where, exactly, is it?), and come out with some x.m.l., if i understand correctly.
Can we start using proper acronyms here? The industry accepted term you want to be using here is XML, not "x.m.l.", unless by "x.m.l" you mean some other format which is not XML.
how do i turn that x.m.l. file into an .html file? into a .pdf? back into a plain-text file? (for looking "ahead" to the time when the x.m.l. file, as the "master", is the only one retained.) i know the standard answer is through x.s.l.t. conversions, but how does a person step through those conversions today?
You use an XSLT.
there is also the question of _maintaining_ the x.m.l. file -- entailing things like editing errors out of it, updating it, etc. where do we get volunteers who have the expertise to do that?
Create a tool that can go from PG etext, in "normalized" format to PG's accepted version of an XML document of that PG work.
thanks, that's good info. would you please take some e-texts -- you can choose any you want -- and convert them to x.m.l. and do the output conversion to .html and .pdf for us please?
that way, we can subject these output-files to evaluation...
I thought your tool did exactly this. Am I mistaken? David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com
