Subject: XML/XLink/XSL fundamentals From: "Raheja, Dhruv (TRANS)" <Dhruv.Raheja@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 10:36:00 -0400 |
hello everybody, I had some basic questions on XML in general and I would be grateful if somebody could help me with them: 1.) i am confused between "XML parser" and "XML processor". I know that the processor is part of an application (browser) and that the XML parser checks the well-formedness/validity of the XML document. What is the role of the processor and what it the difference between the two? 2.) I am using an XML editor called XML Writer. It supports the working draft of the XSL recommendation. When I give the following namespace declaration: <xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">, the parser returns an error message. In addition to that, when I try and use <xsl:number/> I get an error message from the browser. Which parser/editor will allow me to alliviate these problems? Basically I need an application that will allow me to fully exploit XSL (including formatting objects) and XLink/XPointer etc. 3.) The error message related to <xsl:number> is displayed by the browser and not by the editor. Is there some way to get rid of this problem? Is there a Microsoft parser that supports the latest XSL recommendations? 4.) I need to be conversant with XLink/XPointer because I need to link various XML documents together. I also need to learn Formatting Objects in order to display my documents in a non-HTML format. Are there any books/tutorials on these subjects? 5.) In the XML documents that I plan to prepare (I have a protoype at present), there will be elements that are common to some of the documents. I want to be able to make changes to the element content in one document and have it reflect in all the other documents that have the same element so that I can avoid making changes to each individual document. Is that possible? I know I have asked a LOT of questions but these are issues that I am struggling with right now and I would really appreciate somebody's input and expert opinion.
