[htdig-dev] request for manage_attributes.pl (creates attributes based on defaults.xml)

[Ted Stresen-R. <ted...@ma...>]

Brian,

I'm still trying to get something productive done on splitting the 
attributes into separate html files. Although the files you sent were 
helpful, I think the one I'm really missing is the manage_attributes.pl 
(or whichever one actually does the splitting using regular 
expressions). If you have a moment, could you please send that one? It 
doesn't appear to be a part of the most recent snapshots and would be 
very helpful.

Also, I'm still new to XML so pardon what may be a stupid question, 
but, rather than writing your own DTD, would it be possible for us to 
borrow the DTD for XHTML and then modify that to meet our needs (adding 
our own custom elements)? That way we could include all types of html 
in the documentation (the examples, specifically).

If the problem with including the HTML in the examples has to do with 
the regular expressions that parse the defaults.xml file, I could take 
a look at that... I'm pretty good with regex and might know a trick or 
two that could fix that problem.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
