The system basically allows you to have a "LinkBase" file which stores XLinks and XLink "arcs" which define all the links in your site, which is processed at runtime (caching in your session) placing all relevant links into your document, to be sorted out by XSL. What I'd like to know, is what future does this type of system have in Cocoon 2? By the look of Stefano's fantastic work on C2's CLI, XLinks are going to be heavily used in C2, will the concept of a LinkBase fit into this picture? Thanks for any help regards Jeremy -- ___________________________________________________________________ Jeremy Quinn Karma Divers webSpace Design HyperMedia Research Centre
