Hello I'm a newbie to XML and this mailing list: I have a question. Is there any method involving XML:DB to take database entries and dynamically piece together to make an XML document. I want the final output to be HTML? Does the database entries need to be in XML form? Since I'm a newbie here I don't know if this a functionality of QUILT, I would appreciate your help. Thank you, David E. Gonzalez

Beyond that there are no requirements though you're right that it needs to be done. Since all of this is so new we first need to define exactly what an XML database is.

I don't know the official answer to this but I believe the stance being taken with Quilt is to define the language in its original form and then map it to XML. > > Thank you already in advance, > Eugen K. > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Contact adminstrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Kimbro Staken Chief Technology Officer dbXML Group L.L.C http://www.dbxmlgroup.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact adminstrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact adminstrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------
