Yeah, exactly what I have done a long-long time ago for the Outerthought website. I went for XML, though, but the kind of XML which is basically very HTMLish, and the XSLT copying across all undeclared/unknown elements verbatim. So I ended up editing XHTML-like files. Wellformedness is a hard requirement in my book though. > The navigation tree is obtained by traversing the whole tree (directory > generator), and getting the tag of every HTML file, which becomes > the menu entry for that page.
