input of local meta data to skin or xdocs

[Helena Edelson <he...@greenjaguar.com>]

Is there an existing mechanism connecting local XML meta data with xml 
content files
or does one have to do something like include meta file(s) in question 
into skins/../../../document2html.xsl?
(this seems messy since document2html is used for all)

     +============+
     |       topstrip        |
     +============+
     |                         |
     |       centerstrip    |
     |                         | <-- data into here in <section> or
     +============+ <-- data into here after Body of document2html.xsl    
     |       bottomstrip   |
     +============+
 

I'm trying to get content-specific data into the Content area of the skin.
Simple when using XSL, not so easy with xdoxs/xml.

another question: in 0.7, class="fork" doesn't work.
Anything to troubleshoot?

Hmmm, I was waiting for someone to respond to this, maybe someone will 
do so still. However, I want to make sure it doesn't get completely lost.

Using the skins system you should customise the skin to include this 
data. You are correct that you will have to edit document2html.xsl, and 
yes it can be messy, this is one of the motivations for building the 
dispatcher. Using the (in development) dispatcher it is much easier, but 
that is a dev topic).
