[Wh2fo-devel] Re: XML Foundry

[<enr...@gm...>]

Hi Fabio,

I've just inquired to sourceforge (before I've read your mail) about how
much work it is to support a foundry.

I think a lisp macro for Emacs would be good to. - It ist well used on
Unix/Linux.

I thought about conversion tool which covers all some time earlier too. I
think it is a great improvement for all of us.

As I have read wh2fo creates a xml and a xsl file while I am generating one
file which contains everything. How does the splitting work?
