I don't think people realize yet how cool extended link support would be. I personally would love to see this, or some version of XLink code, become a top-level xml.apache.org project. -scott Bruno Dumon h.khbo.be> cc: (bcc: Scott Boag/CAM/Lotus) Subject: XLink Processor for Cocoon 05/17/2000 04:18 AM Please respond to cocoon-dev Hi, We are students, and as part of our final project, we have developed an XLink processor for Cocoon. What it actually does is interpreting the XLink descriptions which are present in a XML file and it converts them to simple XLinks, which can then be converted to HTML links using an XSLT stylesheet. It may sound simple, but since with XLink it's possible to describe a link in document A wich actually starts from document B, it's necessary to remember these links. There's also some support for XPointer. For those who would like to take a look at it, we've made it available at: http://bewoner.dma.be/bruno2/xlinkstuff.tgz It comes with some small demos illustrating the possibilities. Please see the README file in the package for installation instructions. The program is (of course) just a 'proof of concept', it's not very well tested. Greetings, Bruno Dumon and Bert Meykens
