This is off-topic for the lynx-dev list, but I'll ask it
anyway. :) Surely there's more to XML than just an XML parser? I
understand that XML is a simplified version of SGML, intended to allow
defining custom mark-up languages. However, how would the semantics
of the custom languages be defined? That is, if I defined the
following markup:
<FUNCDEF>
<NAME>encode-quoted-printable</NAME>
<PARAMS>input, output, quotetabs</PARAMS>
<DESC>This function does quoted printable encoding</DESC>
</FUNCDEF>
how would I specify the rendering as, say:
encode-quoted-printable (input, output, quotetabs)
This function does quoted printable encoding.
Would this be done via style-sheets, or DSSSL? Or is the semantic
encoding unspecified?
