[opencms-dev] XML/XSLT and structured editor

[Niklas Eklund]

Hi all,

I'd like to use XSL to transform XML instead of (or rather concurrent 
with) the template system used now. I have made a simple test by adding 
a master template and a java-class which gets hold of the body and then 
transforms it. Is there another better aproach? My goal is to have 
Cocoon do all page rendering to the client in the future...

Also, on the editor side, I'd like to substitute the HTML-editor 
alltogether and have a simpler form-based editing solution. The reasons 
for this are to allow more structured pages (ie not just one big 
"textarea" per page but rather have x fields - heading, subheading, text 
etc depending on the page template) and not allow so much custom HTML. 
How would I go about replacing the HTML editor while still keeping the 
source-editor (so I can still edit stuff when my code is broken)? I have 
read somewhere about multiple bodies but haven't seen any examples of 
how to use it, could that maybe help me?

Regards,

   Niklas
