Agreed 100% =;^) No XML parser, Check Frames, Check XHTML1.0 Transitional, Check
If you disagree with any of the above, speak up or for ever hold your peace. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Richard Bennett Sent: November 15, 2001 10:04 AM To: Doug Melvin; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Documentation Project I think we can scrap full XML, as server-side parsing is a pain.. (if we want the docs to function offline) I think frames are the easiest solution - no browser problems, no script, and the pages are reusable online using PHP or SSI to have a frameless version online. If we use oxygen to create API documentation, it generates a frameset output if needed. Using XHTML transitional just means we check our syntax, all values in quotes="100", close all <br /> tags, things like that. We don't want to validate strict, as this is not advisable in combination with dynAPI code.
