I have tried to make it easy to customize the nature of the [X]HTML
produced by AbiWord and I think it's beginning to look very good. There
are still a few bugs, but I hope to get to them eventually.
However, although AbiWord is able to produce a good simple document, it
doesn't have any facility to create the kind of web page layout (the
corporate look-and-feel with menus etc.) so essential for navigating
large sites. One way around this, for websites, is to use PHP (or
similar) so that pages are put together on the server.
Creating documentation for offline browsing is a different challenge,
however, so I have written a template mechanism for the XHTML exporter.
The template is an XML file in the XHTML namespace and forms the
framework of the final exported document. Processing instructions are
included which trigger the exporter to insert title, meta tags or
document content, respectively:
<?abi-xhtml-insert title?>
<?abi-xhtml-insert meta?>
<?abi-xhtml-insert body?>
There are some more advanced features also (used in template.html
below) but until I am happy with them they will remain undocumented...
o sample template for use with AbiWord's new template-driven XHTML
export
and a daft build script for generating documentation - see results
