Dear all,
I would like to explore whether XSLT or any other XML-based language
(XQuery, I guess) would provide an alternative way to create an online
dictionary where the user can send queries to a database and receive
an HTML page with the results.
Using a LAMP environment I can create a webpage in PHP that offers a
search box and which, after the query is submitted to the MySQL
database, generates an HTML page with the results. This[1] is a
rudimentary example so you can see straightaway what I mean (but I'm
sure it's clear enough without examples).
If you want to use dictionaries with non-trivial structure, I
recommend TEI XML
http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/html/DI.html rather than
SQL for storing your data.
cheers
