OK, having finally got fed up with the Linux Today site, I decided that I should try to get to grips with some more of JPluck's features.
Thanks Ed.
JPluck's strength is allowing XSLT processing. Even though I'm a Java programmer myself, I prefer XSLT for this kind of stuff. Even if you get this work, you still only have half a job. From a JPluck perspective, all good plucks, i.e. The Register, use XPath expressions to pluck the article and throw away the fluff. For this you need need the DOM Inspector in Mozilla. Take a look at the various scripts that ship with JPluck.
I was kinda hoping that I could start with something a bit easier as my XSLT skills are rather basic as yet. I was going to give that a go next.
OK, so I found some time and had a go with the XSLT stuff, here is my first attempt at a more PDA friendly version of the Linux Today site. Just add or link the XSL as explained on the JPluck web site.
Please forgive me if this is not the right place to share this, just let me know.
