Thorsten -
I won't get into the Dispatcher here, so I'm sending it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for the feedback:

I am confused on getting data into xdocs content.
    
does it has to be *in* the xdocs? Or is it that is coming just
afterward? Is it xdocs itself, if so did you try a "simple" cinclude on
the xdocs (before skining)?
  


Do you mean implement a c_include on the xdocs (before skining)? in the skin?
Would need to set up some control since the content I'm trying to get into a document is different or not needed for each.
  
I've been testing some of my own hacks (manglings) for getting meta data 
into sections of xdoc xml content files(document 2.0 dtd)

    


What is this meta data can you give an example?
  
meta data ranges from simple xml files of things like
<foo some_id="xy"><lots_of_nested_stuff>stuff</lots_of_nested_stuff></foo>
to other xml files of code snippets from affiliate trackers and links with scary things the dtd won't accept
( tried to customize my own dtd for greater flexibility).
Why an organization would use html <iframe>  (amazon.com) for rendering in a multitude of browsers is a mystery.

This is simple with xslt files, jsp/servlets, php  where aspects are 
easily split so one can set in say a language file
the messages to output (Forrest has this but..) in various areas of the 
Content (xdocs/*.xml).
    


That sounds like you want to include another language in the content,
right? 
  
Well, not in this instance. I was thinking about a php app, or some java things where there is a string config file for instance,
allowing you to get fields into the content area (xdocs), but there is code controling what goes where when, which xdocs content won't.
 
   
The only way I see is to customize both common document2html.xsl and 
skins document2html.xsl
(very messy:reusability rather sad)

    


Yes, that is why I started the work on the dispatcher aka views. Here
you can easily define custom business services that you can include and
process in your output.
  
class="fork" is being stripped by my editor and <link> not allowed.
    
link is xdocs < 2.0 and in =>2.0  it is <a/>.
http://forrest.apache.org/dtdx/document-v20.html#changes-20
  
I tried both link and a to be sure, neither worked for me, must be an editor issue.
Seems you need to configure your editor that @class does not get
stripped. Try with "vi", that will not strip it. ;-)


  
tested a custom template for matching <a> to implement class fork but it 
kept being stripped.
did a bunch of (starts-with...) to catch "http:" and if found, do <a 
href=""_blank"> just like "fork"
with no luck either on like ten tries at template variations. Anyone 
have any ideas?
    


Hmm, I have just tested it on the lenya docu and it is working like a
charm.
<p> The server <a href=""
class="fork">lenya.zones.apache.org</a> provides our testing and
demonstration area. It is managed by Apache Lenya committers. </p>

  
I get  error:ext:lenya-zone for the resulting URL. 
<a href=""
class="fork">lenya.zones.apache.org</a> 
 
?

Is it worth waiting on this and helping to test the Dispatcher? 
I've been trying everything off an on for a while now.
no luck yet.
