maybe you hit the right point but as far as i know XSL-FO does not produce XHTML (which will be the main output)
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "layout systems"... but it sounds
like you may asking about XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO), which is an XML
language that describes how information should be arranged on the
page/screen/whatever. You'd use XSLT to represent your document's contents
as an XSLFO document, then use an XSL-FO renderer such as FOP to convert
that into the displayed format.
i give an example
if have a layout
----------------- topnavigation---------------- menuitem content menuitem menuitem
i want to send the xml document which describes layout (not the xslt) in that layout i include the current xml content. for example
in java i want to choose my layout <layout> <menu>item</menu> </layout>
then i modifiy it <layout> <menu>item</menu> <content> the content </content> </layout>
i want to send this document to the client including the processing instruction for the xslt.
my problem is that the stylesheet consists of the standard layout AND the specific layout for the current content. how can i merge those xslt descriptions or is this a wrong approach. ?
