index.html Journal Index file http://brucesalem.blogspot.com My Blog on Google feedback.html Feedback Form This is XML with a DTD and XSLT Stylesheet I have already verified that the template file works, and although I have used this template on my hidden site for several years, I want to fly it in public and open the issue of using tools up to Xpath to see if I can control the view and finally achieve that goal of an automated self-documenting index file for a dir on this site. Yesterday was "90210" In a fluke of date notation, yesterday's date, as noticed by ABC News, was the same as the famous zip code for Beverly Hills Ca. However the date format is not standard and would violate that now used by XSD or HTML5. Small Problem I had a couple of bugs in this that I fixed. But I notice that my browser, firefox 3.0 doesn't immediately pick up the right margin of my canvas. I have to change the size of the pane before it gets it right. It didn't matter if the browser window was the primary one or a new window. Technically this is a bug unless the issue is the order of the declarations at the top of this file. Why XSLT? I had read about using CSS to render XML into HTML, which is fine as long as you don't need to rewrite the XML. I need to do that to get the TOC links at the top of the file, which change every time the content of the page is edited and re-loaded. This is Blog-Like I could extend this file to a large size if I want with lots of small entries, blog-like, of course to be a true blog I'd have to let my visitors edit it; I'd rather get a blogging package for that, so not yet!!
