h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'll wait until you get comforatble with the new version...
Then, in the middle of the night...

*giggles*

anyone fell like rewriting it in the W3G standard or a schema or DTD would be lovely

Mark said (somewhere, once long ago) that once we finalized GuideML 1.0 we could (one day, maybe) have a DTD for it. One day.

-Spike A., still waiting for the day the XML is served straight-up

I think what Mark was actually asking was whether a DTD would be of any use. It wasn't a promise to create one.

As for serving XML, what browser do you use?

Opera, until I get my hands on that XSLT!

-Spike A.

Yeah, no promises on a DTD... but having ploughed through the XHTML 1.0 one in detail, there's not that much to it, so you never know.

No promises, though, and the reaction to our question about whether anyone would use it wasn't exactly overwhelming, so we'll see.

Spike - you'd probably have to switch to IE to make use of XML/XSLT functionality. Not even Mozilla has client-side XSLT capability yet, so IE is the only game in town.

And we'd love to open up the XML and XSLT, but at the moment the stylesheets are being overhauled to make them more easily maintained (which they need to be given the new sites coming along) but that process isn't quick. So I'd be reluctant to open them up now when they're so cumbersome.

Wow... and there's me sitting here thinking that I have some understanding of computers and the internet...

Not me! Ignorant and free!...to learn, I mean.









slowly...very slowly....

See! Still learning to preview.

Sorry, I meant 'might' rather than 'could'.

And as for the XML/XSLT, I personally want to see DNA move out of the browser (if there's any hope of that ever happening one day). I personally hate HTML and web browsers. Big fan of stand-alone apps .

-Spike A.

And don't worry, Tonsil, I'm still learning to preview too.
