Hi,

After having spent some hours thinking about a nice documentation about
my database created using torque. I thought about using cocoon and
writing a stylesheet to convert everything into HTML as the primer
outputformat.

I've used maven.css and tigris.css so the design looks like the torque
homepage (I've learned from my faults made in the last
documentation-patch :-)) ).

I think generating the documentation using XSL and XSLT has many
advantages against the one provided at the moment. Nevertheless I don't
want to replace the actual documentation I think my way could be an
add-on to torque.

At the moment have a set of stylesheets generating the following:
* database documentation in html
* table document in html

My first questions now are:
* What does the community and the developers of torque think about it?
* Whom should I mail my set of xsl-stylesheets to take a look at them
and tell what has to be changed. Should I pack them up as a ZIP and send
them to the mailing list?

I've also planned to implement the following things after this first
try:
* generating a database overview very similar to the one you'll get from
tools like Access or DbVisualizer. This writing an XSL-Stylesheet
generating a SVG-File and using Cocoons-Serialzer to generate a PNG out
of it
* PDF as output format instead of HTML using Cocoon and FOP

bye

tom
