Starting on HTML rendering
: Martin Holmes
Minutes: 300
Progress from today:
- The HTML rendering pipeline has been set up, with the basics of an XSLT stylesheet which can handle single specified documents or the whole collection.
- An example regular site page has been created (as an XHTML file rooted on the main element).
- A template HTML page is used for both types of data (census records and site pages).
- CSS and JS copying is in place (although there is no CSS yet and little JS).
- Processing already handles rewriting URLs in the template for the census record pages, which are stored in a subfolder because there are so many of them.
- HTML and CSS validation is also part of the pipeline.
From here on, it’s a question of getting the census records rendering into pliable XHTML5 that will enable us to provide elegant display on all the form factors.
