Re: [xdi-editors] questions about browser-viewable copies on xdi.org

["=Drummond Reed" <drummond.reed@xdi.org>]

Chet,

Is the fix to the CSS stylesheet location issue that Joseph suggests possible in the next few weeks? Our pace of production of the XDI 1.0 specs is increasing so it will really save us a lot of time if we can get this working.

Thanks,

=Drummond

Hi Chet,

For example, if I open this URI directly in Firefox or Safari on my Mac: 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/DocBook/spec-0.6/oasis-specification-0.6-wd01.xml

then I see a styled version displayed in the browser. This has been our primary mode of display for editing of XDI TC’s DocBook-format drafts. (which have displayed in Chrome as well)

In this case, the document points to a stylesheet hosted on the same domain name docs.open-oasis.org, which is apparently why it works. 

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
	href="" href="http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/DocBook/spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl" target="_blank">http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/DocBook/spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl"?>

When we upload drafts to Kavi, we get addresses on the server www.open-oasis.org like:

https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xdi/download.php/51637/xdi-core-1.0-wd01.xml

These never display correctly in the browser - pointing to a stylesheet at another subdomain doesn’t work (I assume due to usual browser Cross-Site Scripting restrictions), and there’s not a DocBook stylesheet and corresponding installation on www.oasis-open.org.

I think if the server simply had a symbolic link so that URIs like www.oasis-open.org/templates/DocBook/… would return the corresponding results from the existing installation docs.oasis-open.org/templates/DocBook/… then drafts on Kavi should be displayable in the browser.

Thanks, Joseph

Hi Drummond - 

That'd be me. I have an action item to update the Docbook publishing environment anyway. Which is woefully behind but different story there... 

Joseph, when you write "...  www.open-oasis.org, the server where uploaded drafts live...", do you mean the links as they are done in Kavi? I don't understand why a link on www.oasis-open.org would be needed. What I consider the official copy of the Docbook installation is the one on docs.oasis-open.org. 

Not arguing here - just looking to understand. 

Thanks,

Joseph, it sounds like you and Markus are in violent agreement on this. Who do we need to contact at OASIS to "make it so"?

We still should ask OASIS to host a copy of (or symlink) the DocBook installation from www.open-oasis.org, the server where uploaded drafts live. That would allow us to always use the HTTP form of the stylesheet reference, preferably from a fixed well-known relative address that might even let us leave out the domain name and make it domain independent.

I'm just not sure about #3.

The stylesheet references in Github are currently very chaotic, sometimes it's this:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="" href="http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/DocBook/spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl" target="_blank">http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/DocBook/spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl"?>

Sometimes it's this:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="" href="http://xdi.org/xdi-spec-docbook/htmlruntime/spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl" target="_blank">http://xdi.org/xdi-spec-docbook/htmlruntime/spec-0.6/stylesheets/oasis-specification-html.xsl"?>

Sometimes it's this:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="">

And sometimes it's this:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="">
I understand they all work or don't work under different circumstances, but we should have a rule for which one we use in Github, Kavi, xdi.org etc., and stick to that rule consistently in all specs.
