Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: website 'ideological' problems
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 / Baráth Gábor <dincsi@elender.hu> was heard to say: | i want to discuss with you about the representation | of a website. in docbook-website it has a tree structure, | am i right? The principle navigation structure is a tree. | i think a website can be represented better with a graf, | which has nodes (webpages) and edges (the links). in this | repesentation we can descript a webpage with its content | and the links to other webpages. There's nothing about website that prevents (or discourages) links between pages independent of the primary hierarchy. In fact, I do it all the time. With olinks, even: <para>This area identifies <olink targetdocent="books.xml">books</olink>, | semanticaly it belongs to the webpage itself, and we can | do this to put olinks in the webpage header. | i think this representasion is closer to the reality, than | layout's repesented tree structure. | what about this idea? Go for it. One of the things that motivated website was a desire to impose an ordered structure on the site. If you have a different structure in mind, explore it and let us know where you end up. Be seeing you, norm - -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | The average man, who does not know http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | what to do with his life, wants Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | another one which will last | forever.--Anatole France -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.7 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQE+b0q3OyltUcwYWjsRAnOVAKCZeh/n4yQHBjE+4MKDiPpDD14jxQCeISoN Ju7gPdJBUAot3UXG8Iovq3I= =KrdJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
