Yes. Pier Fumigalli originally made a tool in xml.apache.org called stylebook and that's where the format originally came from as far as I know. It was first used in Jakarta by the Jetspeed project. I then converted the Turbine documentation to use the xdoc format. Then I wrote Velocity, then Jon Stevens wrote Anakia. Anakia uses a slight different format than the original xdoc format but became popular enough of a format that Apache's top-level site uses Anakia which uses. With Maven we use the exact same format and at first used DVSL to transform the xdoc into html and now we use Jelly. That's the history as far as a know, I'm not sure where Pier originally got the format or if he just decided on the format himself. > I've been looking into having > all our sites content stored in xml, and was going to create xml > specific to our content, but if xdoc can be used outside of Maven I may > use its markup instead. Sure it could. You just need to make your own site.jsl if you want something significantly different from what Maven provides. > Any idea/suggestions? You might want to look in the Avalon repositories as they used their own site.jsl. > Brian > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- jvz.
