Complex output using cocoon
Hi Friends!
I have been studying the cocoon samples and docs for the past 2 days and
this is my question:
Cocoon seems to be an excellent choice for not-too-complex kind of output
(html, voice or wap).
What if we have a very complex html page to be churned via an xsl? (Complex
from the point of view of display)
What I generally is that I create the page using dreamweaver or frontpage,
save it as .html file, then rename it as .jsp file and put my scripts
wherever I want.
Is there a solution equivalent to this one where I can use a visual editing
tool to create my .xsl and then put the PI's wherever I want manually?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rahul.

Paul,
Shall we start the thinking process?
Count me in if you already have started this.
Regards,
Rahul.

In addition, you can use eXcelon Stylus to ease the conversion of HTML into
XSL. It saved my time.

At the moment, sadly not. I still mock up 'pretty' (read: complex) pages
in HTML first (although I must admit, being a masochist, I do it
manually with vim) and then use this HTML to write the stylesheet
itself. As far as I'm aware, there are no good tools for doing this
automatically yet. I've vaguely pondered writing one, but I can't
visualise how to make it user friendly without making it too limiting.
Anyone got any ideas?

At the moment, sadly not. I still mock up 'pretty' (read: complex) pages
in HTML first (although I must admit, being a masochist, I do it
manually with vim) and then use this HTML to write the stylesheet
itself. As far as I'm aware, there are no good tools for doing this
automatically yet. I've vaguely pondered writing one, but I can't
visualise how to make it user friendly without making it too limiting.
Anyone got any ideas?
