===== XWG ===== XWG is a simple web site generator based on XSLT. It creates (X)HTML pages from XML files together with a menu tree and bread crumb line. Requirements ============ In order to build the static (X)HTML sites a XSLT 1.0 processor is needed. The authors recommend xsltproc (xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc.html). How to build the static sites ============================= Every XHTML file is generated from the corresponding XML file, which has the same file name but .xml as file name extension instead of .xhtml . To create the static XHTML files run $ make This uses the XSLT processor and the chosen XSLT style sheet to transform every .xml file into a .(x)html file. See the Makefile for details on the output format and the used XSLT style sheet. Instead of using an external XSLT processor to generate the sites one can also just view the sites using a web browser with integrated XSLT 1.0 processor, e.g. firefox. In order to do so simply open index.xml (or any other .xml file) with your browser. In this case the default style sheet, which is written in the XML file, is used. Adding XML pages ================ Any XML file contains a 'data' tag whose content is copied into the output (X)HTML page. Therefore the 'data' tag has to contain valid (X)HTML code. Furthermore the 'data' tag must have a 'filename' attribute containing the name of this .xml file. For example, a simple XML file 'page.xml' might look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="system-xhtml11.xsl" ?> <data filename="page.xml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <h2>Page</h2> <p> This is a page. </p> </data> Here 'system-xhtml11.xsl' is the default XSLT style sheet and xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" is the XHTML namespace which is needed in case of an XHTML output file. Menu tree ========= The file menu.xml contains the information on the menu structure, i.e. how the sites are arranged to each other. All pages that should appear in the menu must be listed here. See menu.xml for more details and an example. COPYING ======= XWG Copyright (C) 2011 Alexander Voigt <Alexander.Voigt@physik.tu-dresden.de> This file is part of XWG.
