Why you should write a guide/howto in XML
Several of the howto's/guides I have written I wrote in XML.. You can consider this XML file as a source file.
With a XSLT file you can compile/transform this XML source file into another format. I have one to produce Vbulletin formatting and another XSLT file produces HTML. Advantage is that you need only once source file. The Vbulletin version can be pasted into a post in the Guides section. The HTML version you can attach to the post for downloading. That way people can easily print your HTML formatted guide from a browser. For example see http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=50433 where the first three posts are text formatted with Vbulletin tags. In the fourth and last post you can download the HTML version. The Vbulletin version has these CVS tags Code:
$Id: new-iso-itis.xml,v 1.11 2007/06/27 04:41:19 j65nko Exp $ $Id: vbul-html.xsl,v 1.6 2007/06/27 04:49:57 j65nko Exp $ Code:
Id: new-iso-itis.xml,v 1.11 2007/06/27 04:41:19 j65nko Exp $ $Id: howto.xsl,v 1.7 2007/06/27 01:04:44 j65nko Exp $ Before I write a guide about writing a guide using this method, I would like to have some feedback from others. So if somebody is interested in playing with this stuff then please let me know.
