Summary:
A forrest:hook is an abstract layer for *any* "graphical helper
container" (not only html), like an "interface". Each format can
implement special matcher and transformer which decide how and whether
forrest:hooks get transformed in the final output format.
Wait a second, I don't mean that writing <span> I want that outputted
directly.
What I really mean is:
<forrest:span forrest:class="testClass"> </forrest:span>
Using a default namespace, it becomes:
<span class="testClass"> </span>
I have to admit that my first response was to agree with Nicola, but
Thorsstens reply convinced me otherwise. The main reason I like
Thorstens approach is that it keeps the language small.
I think the argument is a little bogus (less HTML dependant, as Nicola
says it's just naming), but with Thorstens version we will not need to
invent new tags for new formats, whereas with Nicolas we will.
