Hi,
Congrat's with the job!
I just saw your plea for help on the XSL-list. And I have kind-of a
solution.
I've been working on making a XML/XSL based PHP5 (OOP)-solution for a
while now, and got to the point that I wanted to implement some kind of
XML-wysiwyg-editor (GPL) for end users. I looked at Bitflux XML-editor,
but that wasn't easy to use. Finally I choose to use a really good
inline-xHTML-editor, tinyMCE, and translate the xHTML input into my
"customer" XML-markup using a XSL-stylesheet. The resulting XML was
stored into a database.
This publishing system, called WPS (or YaWPS), will be released
open-source in a while, but I do not mind sharing any of the resources
in advance;
The stylesheet to translate xHTML to XML (a markup I came up with for my
customers to use, you might want to change that to your needs):
http://xsl.i-v-o.nl/tiny_mce/xHTML2XML.xsl
And from my XML to xHTML: http://xsl.i-v-o.nl/client.xsl (view the
source from that)
Any other info on the WPS is still in dutch only...
Good luck!

We need to convert 4000 HTML files into XML (my concept to get them into
the later 20th!)
Well, now that I've sold the idea, I'm stumped on how to do it.
1) convert HMTL into well formed HTML (many are not)
2) convert well formed HTML into xHTML
3) convert xHTML into XML
4) create XSLTs to transpose XML back to HTML for page display
It's been a few years since I did XML/XSLT
If someone has a kind heart, and an the expereince, I'd like to talk about
the best way to convert these, and then built the XSLT to convert them
back to HML for display.
I'm reading Kays book (again), I'm playing with XML in PHP5, so I'm not a
complete novice on this, just a bit rusty.
Also, how do you deal with display characteristics in XML? Like BOLD and
ITALIC, or even BULLET LISTS (<ul><li>)
These files are magazine articles, so this kind of formatting needs to
stay, but the other display charateristics will be pulled off into the
XSLT.
Thanks
