Re: Supported Languages in Chiba

hello,

(hope you don't mind i cc'ed this to the mailing list)

the core of Chiba is not dependent on HTML - would be a sad solution for 
a XForms processor - but the current XSLT stylesheets are. so, basically 
what you'll have to do to support another markup is to write your own 
stylesheet to match and output that markup. the xforms markup may be 
contained in any document (the processor won't care) but you have to 
take Chibas internal DOM when its time to render and feed it through 
your own stylesheet.
please note that the HtmlGenerator class is somewhat misleadingly named 
so cause it will happily use any stylesheet and is a general transformer.
i'm actually not up-to-date with 0.8 (working on 0.9.3 ;) but i think 
the same applies.
if you have further interest in this topic and try a solution i would 
welcome to move the discussion to the mailinglist. (you may also use 
gmane.org to read/post messages)
we'll be happy to assist you in your efforts and are also very 
interested to use something different to html - so what do you like to 
use as a container?
best,

Joern
