hi ines if your people never have seen an html then they will produce very simple html output
paragraphs, with or without titles, images , bulets and tables (nothing more is needed im most cases) so u can design a simple collection of elements and a xsd schema that describe those element and there attributes then you can give an xml editor and this schema to those people this is an easy way to make people create xml files in the way u want then u have to create a "machine" that will run unter cocoon who will be the presentation layer for this xml files there is a project we work on and soon will be free for download that make exactly what u want. (this not final for the moment but if you are familiar with xml.xsl.javascript i thing that u can use it) and all this under cocoon contact me direct if you want more informations Stavros S.
