What are the draw backs of custom doc types ?


If you have clear structures and hence a clear reason for specific doctypes,
then there are no drawbacks ;-)

But the question is what is "clear"?! For instance a press release might have a
title, an issued date and paragraphs (min=0 max=unlimited).


You could either do your XML as follows:

<pr>
 <title>...</title>
 <date>....</date>
 <para>...</para>
</pr>

or

<html>
 <body>
   <div id="date">...</div>
   <div id="title">...</div>
   <p>...</p>
 </body>
</html>

Now the PR people suddenly say let's insert tables ....

I think it depends very much on where you want to go to and
what the output formats are going to be, etc. ....

Subject: How are you doing templates?


I'm curious as to how others are doing templates for subsections of their site to vary the style and some content. I was going to do custom resource types but the howto suggests that's not appropriate and I can see why. How do you do it? Custom pipelines? Logic within the an XSLT?

Thanks,
