XML Export Enhancements
July 12, 2005 12:00 AM
I'm trying to make some custom search facilities using an indexed XML file in a flash piece. It occurs to me that the RTF field tags could REALLY be less 'stack of squiggles and tag tag tag' within the node. Could we possibly pull some of that stuff out to attributes? And use something like tagged XML (enhancing the DTD to accomodate some of the inline language tagging) with standard / basic / enhanced HTML formatting that is in effect passed through to the output? It would REALLY make it easier for all to search and replace, etc... for all kinds of activities (including localization). I would hate to have to figure out where the text begins by filtering out the tags (probably possible, but a real pain in the arse and hard to get 100%)Another thing I would request to add is the projected export name of the HTML file (depending on the last export settings) I've been trying to use the IMS Manifest to catch the TOC stuff (but the include in TOC tag attribute isn't passed into the manifest, nor is any of the content I want to mark as keywords, and specified blocks I want to access in a search return in a custom built piece.Thanks guys!Steve
