[docs] DRAFT: How to publish XML documents in HTML and PDF
Hello Cocooners,
This draft is available at
http://www.codeconsult.ch/drafts/cocoon/howto-html-pdf-publishing-DRAFT-01.html
and I'd like to donate it (in XML form) to the project.
This is really basic stuff, but I think it might be useful for beginners,
especially because it requires no prior knowledge of Cocoon, XSLT or XSL-FO
(as long as Cocoon is up and running).
I'm definitely scratching an itch here as I will use it tomorrow for an XSLT
and XSL-FO class that I'm teaching, so it will be field-tested sooner than
later ;-)
Comments are welcome - I will wait a bit before creating a patch in bugzilla,
in case changes are needed.

FYI: A revised and improved version is already in HEAD and 2.0.3 branch.
I'll update the site once 2.0.3 is officially released.

No, actually I already sent the xml version to Diana so that she can clean it
up and commit it. The How-To will be included in the Cocoon docs shortly, and
I will then remove it from my website.

RE: Advice re: Stylesheet Parameters

Jason,
if I were you, I'd use the RequestGenerator. You will get a nice XML with all the form parameters ready for further processing.
Best regards,

Advice re: Stylesheet Parameters
Posted by Jason Foster <ja...@uwaterloo.ca>.
I was hoping to get some advice from the group on the "proper" way to
acquire stylesheet parameters from a user and to use them in a
transformation.
My plan is to have an HTML form (an XForm can come later) that collects the
values for all sorts of parameters, such as...
<xsl:param name="generate.index" select="1"/>
<xsl:param name="toc.section.depth">2</xsl:param>
... and to collect these parameters once the form is submitted.
I realize that there are a number of ways that I could do this, but I was
hoping that the list could help me enumerate my choices and provide
information on the strengths and weaknesses of each choice. One thing to
keep in mind is that a number of these parameters are best represented as
checkboxes, so I will have to deal with the usual problem of HTML form
encoding :(
This information is likely to be of use to other Cocoon users, so I will
volunteer to collate and submit the results to the list.
Thanks for any help.

P.S. For those of you who are wondering, I'm trying to create a "Test Your
DocBook" web page where you can upload your source file and have a PDF file
returned. Thanks to Saxon and the new ability to specify a custom
TransformerFactory on a per-pipeline basis, I've already got this partially
working.

Pretty nice introductory paper.
Is this link going to be permanent?
I will to link to it from my weblog, where I started to maintain a
repository of articles on use cases, sucess stories and best practices
related to Cocoon.
