index.xml Index file Today is Halloween It was a beautiful day. In fact it is still warm tonight. This has been a quiet observance. This is probably because it fell on a Monday this year. Added simple links to the XML document I succeeded in adding simple links to the stylesheet for this page within a browser. It uses the "subtitle" element, the heading for several paragraph. A paragraph, "para" element, can have a subtitle as an option, so under one subtitle there can be more than one paragraphs. The subtitle is a subelement of the first paragraph, really, and several that follow do not have subtitles. When a subtitle exists, an entry with its contents is made for a Table of Contents, a bulleted list at the top of the document, and a forward link is created there. It appears as blue underlined text. The title headings are rendered as before, but are also named links. The browser navigates to the subtitle pointed to from the TOC, puts it at the top of the browser screen, exactly as the anchored internal links from HTML. which is what the style sheet is implementing. The advantage of all of this is that internal link generation is automatic. I have also added a "toplink" element in the XML which kicks off a template in the style sheet that creates the "top" link back to the top of the document. The only mechanical thing I have to do is to move the empty "toplink" element around to do some pagination. The style for this rendition of the XML I was able to do farily sophistocated formatting in a few commands including setting colors, font sizes, style, and fully justify the text of the paragraphs. I was able to set the background color to pink, the font color to navy, quite pretty, really, and set right and left margins and font sizes for the XML elements. I got links to work The simple anchored links supported by HTML can be driven off the XLT style sheet. I have done simple static links, not the kind I could make from XML elements, but the syntax form for the simple links does work. I have seen the example in the text book I have, but it did not work on my system. So, I tried the static links and did get them to work, both external and internal. I have a link from the bottom of the page generated by this XML to the top of the page, an internal link. It should work. ... It doess. I then got the TOC and the links to it to work. I took the subtitle element , if it exists and put it in two places, make a TOC entry as the link target, and make the named link from the subtitle, itself. Like I had to do by hand in ordinary HTML.
