Sam, If you are unfamiliar with XML Namespaces in general, Wikipedia has a concise article:
As far as teh module, it looks almost like a pre-processing parser that has the ability to add namespace pre-tags (i.e. convert <body> to <xhtml:body>). It seems to work with DTDs/Schemas too, so maybe it can pre-parse your XML file and check to make sure it conforms to the DTD/Schema. I haven't used the module before and I'm not even sure that that's the purpose or even within the true capabilities of the module, but it may be a platform for you to start your XML research. BTW, I have used XML extensively in certain shallow areas, namely XSL(T), although I am far from knowledgeable on the subject. Dave On 4/10/07, Sam Carleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Folks, This is a bit off topic, but over the last few weeks I have come to know you all as very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about all things Apache and I have a feeling most all things Web related... Thanks to Nick mentioning mod_xmlns in the server side include thread, I just looked up what the module and read the http://apache.webthing.com/mod_xmlns page. After reading it, I am as clueless as to what to do with mod_xmlns as before I read the page:( I have been using XML/XSLT on and off for 8 years now, but being a GUI developer (not web) it has been limited to very basic things like dumping report data to XML and using XSLT to make a pretty HTML report. I get the impression there is XML being used in ways unknown to me. And mod_xmlns plays a role in these usages, unknown to me. Might one or two of you direct me to some more info as to enlighten this dim bulb;) Sam
