Applying different stylesheets

[David Herring <da...@micromuse.com>]

Hi,

Can I apply different stylesheets to the same XML content based upon
which URL they
select. I.E the same content being displayed in different manners ?

I realise you can have separate stylesheets for different media types of
access - so can you
use simular functionality to have different URL's access the same XML
data but apply their
own stylesheet.

thx dave

I use a solution that needs more typing :(

-------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="results.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<?cocoon-process type="xslt"?>

<!DOCTYPE include [
 <!ENTITY xmlFile SYSTEM "proj12.xml">
]>

<include>
&xmlFile;
</include>
----------

In an other file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="all.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
                       -------
....

The only advantage of this is that you keep XML data in "neutral"
format. Oh I also decided to use *.sxml for files handled by
Cocoon. *.xml files are left alone.

PS: I think it's a funny problem. For me the ability to have different
views of the same XML file (e.g. in business 
one for marketing / support / users, in education one for all / abstract
/ ) was the FIRST thing that came to my mind when I first saw XSL.
Cocoon developers did not see that, proof that XML is a wide thing :)

Duh - yeah, I forgot about that.  I even use that trick myself :-)

thanks for reminding me!

Mike,

Thanks.

As workaround until sitemaps become available you can link to the file
from another directory, and have relative paths for the stylesheet to pick
up a local copy in each of the directories.

Thanks,  dave

I think you have to wait for Cocoon v2 for this.  See the Cocoon 2 documents
and look for "sitemap".
