Yes, in this case. We only will have the opportunity to use it
statical i assume.

Cocoon is an "engine that transform xml pages with the help of a
stylesheet to another format, and can present them. It works in
cooperation with apache or an other server.
I used it dynamical for a medical informatic project but i proposed
to use it only to create the html pages local and them put the
statical created html sites on the web.
It is however possible to easily create different views on the same
Data. For example if you have your data for FAQ's in the form
<faq>
<question>what is LEAF </question>
<short_answer>Linux embedded application
firewall</short_answer>
<detailed_answer> blah blah for 3 pages </detailed_answer>
</faq>
you can then generate for example the first page with all faqs
for adding a faq you need only generate another faq in this format,
it will be automaticall put on the page.
At the next page you could forexample generate faq + short_answer
and over a link detailed answer.
all pages could look the same from design, but you only have to
generate the design one time.
Or you can generate a lynx version, a wap version and a "big"
browser version.
It was just an idea, i am very enthusiastic about, but the usefullnes
of this depends heavily on the fact how often you change your page.
If it is very static, it won't bring much profit.
I like both design you brought. :)
Yes mike that's the one i talked about.
> does lynx support xml? I doubt it supports xsl.
it is like this (i hope my ascii grafics are ok
xml info \
\ HTML version 1
Cocoon -> HTML version 2 or wml
xsl stylesheet/
