[ba-ohs-talk] Fwd: [xml-dev] ANN: Ool - Out-of-line Markup Tools
>From: "Simon St.Laurent" <simonstl@simonstl.com>
>To: xml-dev@lists.xml.org
>
>I've released an initial version of Ool, a set of Java SAX filters for
>working with out-of-line markup in XML.
>
>http://simonstl.com/projects/ool/
>
>Ool can separate XML documents into files containing their markup and
>their (element) text, using ool:text elements to indicate which part of
>the text file goes where in the document. It can also reconstruct
>documents from the separate markup and text files. (The incomplete
>portion optimizes the representation of where the text goes, but I've
>not had time...)
>
>Ool is not (yet) a means for realizing the hypertext dreams of Ted
>"Embedded Markup Considered Harmful" Nelson, but it may be a framework
>for experimentation on such things.
>
>The filter for recombining text and markup is also handy for textual
>inclusions whether or not they came from the separator - effectively
>it's a text-only includer which uses character locations for start and
>end-points.
>
>As a bit of a bonus, there's also a SAX filter which abolishes mixed
>content through the handy expedient of wrapping the odd bits of text
>(those which have element siblings) in elements conveniently named
>"mix:ed". This may prove useful for constraining mixed content using
>DTDs and W3C XML Schema in ways which are not presently possible. (RELAX
>NG needs no such assistance.)
>
>I do plan to work on this further, and port it to MOE (where many of the
>optimizations should be much simpler), but it'll be a little while. I'm
>editing too much to get time to focus on programming.
