greetings list.
I am busy creating help files for our product (which will be xml/xsl driven).
I am stumped on one portion of our design.
sample input: (select everything that is a descendent of //xs:xmlSample and
return it with modifications)
<xs:xmlSample>
<ResponseTranslation>
<Maps>
<Map FileSpec="D:\Program
Files\INFO1\iBLOX\Maps\eBURI1Yo.mmc" Parameters="">
<Inputs>
<Input
Source="XPathXML" Required="False">//RawResponses</Input>
<Input
Source="XPathXML" Required="False">//DATABASE</Input>
<Input
Source="XPathDATA" Required="False">//URID</Input>
</Inputs>
<Outputs>
<Output Target="DOM">
<DOMInsert
DataType="XML" ParentXPath="//iBLOX" ElementName="" />
</Output>
</Outputs>
</Map>
</Maps>
</ResponseTranslation>
</xs:xmlSample>
the output in html will be almost exactly that of the input (unless they are
openning nodes, such as ResponseTranslation, Maps, Map, Inputs, or Input; in
which case, the name is reprinted and a link is created to an anchor elsewhere
on the same page).
I originally designed the page to do a copy-of inside a textarea, but cannot
with the added functionality.
Is there an algorithm or tip handy for creating help pages that recycle the
xpaths and make modifications such as adding hyperlinks?
please click below to view the design page. (this is how it should end up
looking, and it is finished except for the Process XML Sample Section)
