Properties documentation
Dear list,
After sepnding some days wrestling with various graphics tools in linux
in an attempt to make html that looked like the standard apache
documentation, I finally surrendered and made do with CSS to create a
facsimile that should be sufficient for this list. It works with a
recent Mozilla build, and should probably work with IE5.something.
I have made some notes and some semi-UML diagrams to illustrate the
approach I have been taking to the implementation of properties. These
can be found at
<http://home.iprimus.com.au/pbwest/xml-fop/docs/html-docs/design/properties-new.html>.
lease let me know if there is some easy way to get full conformance
with the Apache XML norm, or if there are severe problems viewing these
pages with modern browsers.
Peter

Bernard,
Thanks for that. I have just had a long day trying to make the html at
least readable under Navigator 4.75. Isn't html wonderful?
I have also tried the current Opera 5.0 release on linux, with
reasonable results. The problem with using CSS is that the actual font
sizes on a particular browser are still unpredictable.

Hi Peter,
FYI, with Konqueror (modern yes, 100% finished maybe not), the PNG images
(like in PropertyConsts.html) aren't displayed, but right-clicking them allow
them to be opened in the image viewer. Maybe a mime-type problem?
The pages look fine with IE5.

Yes, I noticed. I figured that that it would be easier to way for the new
website design than to delve into the outdated stylebook.
The new design will look quite different without all the images etc.

Keiron,
Thanks for clueing me up on the documentation. I strongly accept you
recommendation, and I will gladly use it in future. Btw, the heading
graphics from the the design documents seem to have been screwed up.
Have you noticed this?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the work. Maybe this can go with the rest of the design.
I would strongly suggest that you do not write the html.
The apache web site is done from xml and all the images, layout etc. is
done from a stylesheet. These will also be updated by others.
If you look at "docs/xml-docs/fop/*.xml" this is the xml format. It is
converted by stylebook (will become cocoon soon) into the html.
