There is a philosophical difference between XML and HTML - the first is to represent / store information with no thought to how it is displayed. HTML involves content and display, but the emphasis is on presentation. Constructs involved in presentation change more rapidly than the constructs

I am a XML newbie, so bear with me. Are you saying to use my XML exporter to get the data out of VistA, then use a separate program to assemble the information into a final CCR? And what is XSLT? Thanks Kevin --- Gregory Woodhouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know of no implementation of XSLT

XSLT is a kind of mini-language that allows you to transform (hence the 'T') the structure of XML documents. It was originally intended as a stylesheet language (hence the 'S') that could be used to transform XML to HTML, a special formatting markup intended primarily for print (XSL

2005-07-14 Thread Gregory Woodhouse
Incidentally, XSLT and XSL-FO were initially part of the same specification. I think one of the main reasons XSLT was split off into a separate specification is that people quickly came to realize how useful it would be for applications having nothing to do with style or formatting. It has

Well, I am finally done with my XML exporter. Features: --Separate modules for usr interface (setting up export request) and actual export, to allow for future modular use. --Export 1 or more files at a time --Works with Sort Templates to allow a user to search for a complex set of desired output

One of my goals has been to be able to dump a chart to a .html format, viewable in a web browser. This should be straight-forward for progress notes (all that I am concerned with at this point.) But if one gets into all the other info that can be stored (i.e. labs etc etc.) then I give up.

I know of no implementation of XSLT in MUMPS, but there are open source tools like Xalan. Instead of trying to export data directly to CCR, why not consider exporting to SOME format (so long as it's XML, of course) using as many separate exports as you need, and then write an XSLT

Dare I be so audacious as to suggest that this is a good example of dividing a task into subtasks that don't need to know about the larger context? The XML exporter could have been (indeed, was) designed without regard to any larger problem such as generating a CCR document from Vista.
