Things we did
- Wed 14 Jun afternoon: Hamlet stylesheet with TOC
- At Martin’s suggestion, I also made an annotated version of it. This demonstrates copious use of XML comments — Syd.
- Thu 15 Jun afternoon: we converted placeography to CSV. This demonstrates sparse use of oXygen’s “doc” namespace. Use Tools > Generate Documenation > XSLT Stylesheet Documentation… to generate nice HTML documentation from your stylesheet. Note that I chnaged the whitespace a bit since you saw it last (we had been using whitespace to move the interesting part up the screen so you could see it over the computers).
Topics not covered and slide sets not used.
Bibliography
Many slides and handouts refer to the page or chapter of the reference work that we personally use:
Kay, Michael. XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 Programmer’s Reference. 4th edition. Indianapolis, IN: Wiley/Wrox, 2008. ISBN: 978-0-470-19274-0
References to “Kay” are to this book.
