Whoa, boy... That went deeper than I had thought
:)
I'm not that up to par on xhtml and different
"modern" stuff :) but xslt would produce xhtml for sure. I've looked around the
HtmlPrettyFormatter (or whatever it's called) and it didn't seem that complex to
me so I'm a little unsure what gains could be made.
But ... geez, after a long day writing software I
really don't like to think too much :) ... suppose you'd like to have different
transformations for different documents. Say that with the flick of a switch you
could take an article and get an entirely different look, then I suppose xslt
would be a very interesting concept. It would be very
"template"-native.
What exactly do you mean when you're talking
about HTML? Embedding html tags in the document?
I suppose you'd also be able to "customize" the
article layout for end users more easily, without necessarily digging into
the CoWiki internal css files too much.
But my experience with xml and its related
technologies has been pretty limited so far.
I'll try to get a diff with the changes I made
for XmlPrettyPrinter too as soon as I can.

Mats--
I will look at what
you've done but I can tell you without looking that I am
"interested"!
A question for you-- coWiki uses the classes in
class/render to transform the internal document for output. In the case
of a coWiki page, the html generated here is included into a template document
for actual display.
It seems to me that we should be able to use XSLT
for these transformations, and it should be faster because it would be done by
PHP's internal libraries. Couldn't we also then apply different
transformations, depending on the root type of the encoded document (for
example to limit HTML documents to content we deem "safe").
The primary
advantage I see for the team is that it would be less code to support.
Am I off the deep end of the
pool?
