RE: UKNM: XML

[David Burrows]

Simon,


Having just done a major XML refit of our website I would point you at our

site

www.specialmoves.com but i'm afraid you wouldn't see much. Most of the XML

work is backend stuff, all the content is in XML but this is just used as a

base format. The XML is then transformed using XSLT into HTML (or anything

else we need - WML,CDF,SVG etc.etc) and this is what the user sees.

Everything is updateable through admin screens, which feed into the XML,

these updates can then be previewed from the XML files and, if OK,compiled

into HTML. This provides a simple way of staging content on the live server.


Have a look at www.xml.com (the official mothership) or

http://www.xml-zone.com/ for some overviews and FAQ's.
