It will almost certainly be a separate chapter in itself. It could even, in theory, be done as a totally separate guide due to the size of the information required. At this stage, I would probably hold off on the examples, other than to say that the xforms can function almost identically to the html forms without the user even knowing. There are some issues that I still want to sort out before I start putting "pen to paper". One such issue which I am about to query with the xml team is that master documents seem to accept xforms as valid sub-documents, but when they are included, all XML functionality of the xform is lost and it behaves as a very simple HTML form?!? Most annoying and hopefully can be remedied fairly quickly for my project :)
Okay, thanks for those insights, Jonathon. We'll await further advice from you (or anyone else) on this.
I wonder if we should mention them in the Forms chapter, just a few paragraphs of general explanation, and then tell the reader that details will be in a separate document. (Much like we refer readers to the Database Guide in several places, even though the Database Guide isn't available yet.)
I hope you can get the master documents problem sorted out soon, otherwise I'll need to put a note in the MD chapter warning people about this problem.
Cheers, Jean
