Re: [htdig-dev] Re: update to Documentation via defaults.xml

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

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I've been taking notes of  
everything that's been suggested. I'm also determined to come up with a  
"cheerier" presentation or two for all to choose from, but that's low  
on the list of priorities as far as I can tell...

Current workload aside (I'm a little backed up during the day gig right  
now...) the plan is to use XSL to create defaults.cc, a split version  
of attrs.html and a version in a single file, as well as versions  
sorted by / grouped by "program" or "category".

Additionally, and the htdig developers should chime in if they feel the  
need to, it is my understanding that in order for this to be a truly  
valuable contribution, it needs to be able to do its thing in Perl and  
not rely on the users having Xalan or Saxon or any other XSL processor  
installed.

I'm more than happy to take a whack at reproducing all of this in Perl,  
but I'd like to know if there is any objection to including one of the  
Perl XSL processors in the htdig distribution. This would _greatly_  
reduce the amount of work I have ahead of me.

As always, task status is here: http://www.tedmasterweb.com/htdig/
