Re: html templates - best practise

This is all true; but a stylesheet is still a stylesheet, and it seems that the original poster wanted to be able to use something very close to template-type HTML so that the page desigers would not have to do anything related to XML and XSL... maybe XHTML and <include> statements are the way to go??   Derek >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/10/2003 02:58:02 >>> Bertrand Delacretaz wrote: > Le Vendredi, 3 oct 2003, � 14:41 Europe/Zurich, Derek Hohls a �crit : > >> ...My feeling is that use of Cocoon must change some aspects >> of how you work... if you do not want to change, then maybe >> stick to JSP or other template-type systems?... > > I didn't follow the beginning of this discussion, but wouldn't a > technique like the "style-free XSLT" presented in > http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2000/07/26/xslt/xsltstyle.html allow one to > work with "visible" HTML templates, even if doing the transformations in > XSLT? > > I haven't used this yet but the idea looks really interesting. Actually, it is extremely useful. Some Lenya publications are using it, and the major benefit is the separation of real XHTML layout and presentation logic. The XSLTs become more readable and maintenance is simplified. The cocooncenter article I mentioned in my previous mail to this thread is based on exactly this xml.com article.
