Add links in a document

N

NiQuil

Hello people,

I am creating a portal which should be easy maintainable by
non-programmers.
Thus far people can easyly change the text, set it Bold Italic and
Underlined. Also i can set a footnote which will be displayed at the
bottom of the text.
The next feature i would like to create involves creating a link.

--->I want to be able to insert a link in a piece of tekst.<---

I am very new to xml (started yesterday) and I hope someone could give
me some directions in this matter.

This is what I have thus-far:
-------The DTD--------------------------------------------------
<!ENTITY % paratext " #PCDATA | bold | italic | underline | footnote">

<!ELEMENT page (message*)>
<!ELEMENT message (header, title, bodyText, footer, numbering)>

<!ELEMENT header (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT bodyNumber (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT bodyText (paragraph*)>
<!ELEMENT paragraph (&paratext;)* >
<!ELEMENT footnote (&paratext;)*>
<!ELEMENT footer (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT numbering (#PCDATA)>
------------------------------------------------------------------

--------The xslt--------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="message">

</h2>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="bodyNumber" />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="bodyText" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<xsl:value-of select="footer" />
</td>
</tr>
</table><br/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="bodyText">
<table border="1" bordercolor="black" align="center" width="100%">
<tr>

</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="paragraph">

</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="footnote">

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="bold">

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="underline">

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="italic">

</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi,

You'd have to invent a new element and attributes and specify it in the DTD.

Here's an example:

<page>
<message>
<header>xml document editor</header>
<title>Welcome</title>
<bodyNumber>Punt 1</bodyNumber>
<bodyText>
<paragraph>text <bold>bold text</bold> more text<italic>Italic
text</italic> more text<underline>underlined text</underline>more
text<footnote>an added footnote</footnote>.</paragraph>
<paragraph><link location="http://www.w3.org/" info="W3C">The <bold>place</bold> to be</link></paragraph>
</bodyText>
<footer>Versie 0.1</footer>
<numbering>1</numbering>
</message>
</page>

An this would be an according template that can be added to the stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="link">
<a href="{@location}" title="{@info}"><xsl:apply-templates /> </a>
</xsl:template>



(Not related to the question, but you could consider making a table free-design)

Thank you for the reply, I found a way myself aswell, though it differs
from yours. Could you (anyone) tell me which way is best, and why?

xml:

<link value="link2.htm">Link 2</link>

xslt:

<xsl:template match="link">
<xsl:element name="a"><!--<a>--><xsl:attribute
name="href"><!--href="--><xsl:value-of select="@value"
/></xsl:attribute><!--eenurl--><xsl:value-of select="@value"
/><!--eenlinktekst--></xsl:element><!--</a>-->
</xsl:template>

Hi here niQuil again.

i have foud out that There is (going to be a full) standard for using
links called XLINK.
I don't know how it works yet but I'll try and figure it out.

The difference between our ways of adding a link is clear to me now,
it's just a notation difference.

When I find out how xlink works I will put an example here so others
might benifit from this thread aswell.

Afcourse, feel free to add one yourself, this would save me the work
from findin out myself ;-)

K, I'm off! tnx Again.
