Mike,

Thanks for your quick review and responding.

I think that the XALAN-C pages are almost ready for release.

I will add your recommended links to the XALAN top-level page.

When the top-level page meets PMC approval, I can create a fork
of the xalan subversion tree for official web site maintenance.

FEATURES

Xalan Top-Level Page

  Has navigation links to the new pages

  Has a section reference with links to the old pages

  Has expanded section content

Xalan-J Project Page

  This uses the same StyleBook XML ported to a new
  look-and-feel format.

Xalan-C Project Page

  This is a significant documentation effort in preparation
  of an official software release of Xalan-C Version 1.11.

STYLEBOOK

As for StyleBook:  I am not using the Java based StyleBook program.
I have designed a stylebook.xslt that performs the same transforms
and a apache-xalan.css stylesheet that performs browser rendering
of the constructed xhtml pages.  The source XML files still use the
StyleBook markup format.

The transformation program is the Xalan command-line program.

The apache-xalan.css stylesheet and new logo graphics are found in
the xslt-resources/ directory.

The xhtml pages are generated using Windows .BAT files and a working
Xalan (XSLT) command-line utility.

The full chain of documentation for XALAN, XALAN-C and XALAN-J
pages are found in the repository at:

  
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xalan/c/branches/XalanDocs/xalan/java/trunk/xdocs/sources

All you need after getting a working copy of the branch is to
put your Xalan command-line program into a location referenced
by your PATH environment variable.  I have reserved a bin/ directory
for this which you may use.

Scripts:

  make-all-sites.bat  Creates the XALAN, XALAN-C, and XALAN-J html documents.

  make-book-org.bat   Creates the XALAN top-level html pages.

  make-book-xalanc.bat  Creates the XALAN-C project html pages

  make-book-xalanj.bat  Creates the XALAN-J project html pages

  make-book-xsltc.bat   Creates the XSLTC subset pages for XALAN-J

  make-book-design.bat  Creates the DESIGN subset pages for XALAN-J

The web pages are properly generated into the directory:

  ../../build/docs/xalan/*              [XALAN Top-Level html]
  ../../build/docs/xalan/xalan-c/*      [XALAN-C Project html]
  ../../build/docs/xalan/xalan-j/*      [XALAN-J Project html]

It is this construction of pages that is posted on my developer's
web site for review:

  http://www.apache.org/~shathaway/docs


To Do:

I will be preparing UNIX shell scripts that will mirror the
operation of the Windows BAT scripts for constructiong the
project web pages.

Sincerely,
Steven J. Hathaway <shatha...@apache.org>
