Working on our presentation for ApacheCon, Ross and I have the problem
that the presentation contains a lot of internal info and also some
that should only be part of someversions (speaker version, slide
version, printed notes).
They are marked up with class attributes, so filtering is possible,
the question is where.
And since filtering might vary on a per document basis, I was
wondering whether we could have a filtering plugin that can be applied
before any other output plugin and apply the filtering needed.
Ideally the criteria would be defined in the site element.
So instead of my current version (that opens the presentation as a
normal Forrest document as well as an s5-slideshow)
<apachecon label="ApacheCon">
<slides label="slides" href="s5slides/ssp_with_forrest.html"/>
<slides label="document" href="ssp_with_forrest.html"/>
</apachecon>
I could then have
<apachecon label="ApacheCon">
<slides label="Slides" href="s5slides/ssp_with_forrest.html"
filter="cleanSlides.xsl"/>
<slides label="Slides" href="s5slides/ssp_with_forrest.html"
filter="speakerSlides.xsl"/>
<slides label="document" href="ssp_with_forrest.html"
filter="printedVersion.xsl"/>
</apachecon>
where the xsl-files contain the desired filter.
Am I thinking along the right track here or are there better ways to
do this.
I first wanted to create this as output plugin, but since all there is
is custom xsl which can be different for each file, I didn't think
this would made a lot of sense.
