The above link has good info. As someone totally unfamiliar with
Cocoon, I like the way it talks about some applications of Cocoon
concretely.
This is what I want to do with Cocoon, plus some other stuff :)
First, I need to get some data:
"93. Use Cocoon to Create a Well-Formed View of a Web Page, Then Scrape
It for Data"
<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/xmlhks/toc.html>
Oreilly has some hacks available as PDF downloads, just not this one.
Anyhow, a very cool book, I learned from that than I did from anything
purporting to teach XML. I suppose that's because when I read about how
XML should be formatted this way or that, I yawn. When I see something
like the above then the light bulb goes on and I get interested. (I
just skimmed it at the book store.)
First I have to make room on my hard drive and install Cocoon, though.
I can't find reference as to how big Cocoon is once installed, although
I do know that it runs as a servlet. I don't think it'll be that big,
but I'd like to know.
Please, don't do a full cocoon build. It is very big. Instead, create
your setting using the local.b*.properties to get rid of the things you
are not going to use in your current work.
I've done some stuff with JTidy, but I now realize that I'm just
following in others footsteps. I don't know that I'm glad that Cocoon
can save me hassle, or dissapointed because I wanted to do it all
myself. Kinda bittersweet ;)

Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite
(and reuse) ;-)
