Example 2: Online Manual - Page 5
December 19, 2002
This example (onlineman01.xml) sets up a placeholder document for an online manual:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<content type="nonfiction" subtype="onlinemanual">
<title>Guide to the TOOLS Language - Online Edition</title>
<authors>
<author>
<fname>mookie</fname>
<mname/>
<lname>mouse</lname>
</author>
</authors>
<page/>
<body>
</body>
</content>
Currently, there is no content in the <body>…</body> block. Content might be added later in batch
mode as follows:
<?selectdoc type="nonfiction" subtype="onlinemanual" title="Guide to the TOOLS
Language - Online Edition" ?>
<?definebody ?>
<body>
<toolsmanual>
<functions>
<function>
<name>print()</name>
<params>
<param><i>stringexpr</i></param>
</params>
<function>
</functions>
</toolsmanual>
</body>
The application component that parses the above would select the appropriate document from the database
and then add the segment of markup code. The component would have to have some scheme for adding
functions to the online manual. One possibility, of course, is adding functions in alphabetical order.
Example 3: Geek Poetry
This example (geekpoetry01.xml) defines an arbitrary document of the type 'geek poetry':
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<content type="poetry" subtype="geek">
<title>ODE TO PHP</title>
<authors>
<author>
<fname>golly</fname>
<mname/>
<lname>gee</lname>
</author>
</authors>
<page/>
<body>
<stanza>
<line>$str = "How do I love PHP?</line>
<line>Let me count the ways.</line>
</stanza>
<stanza>

<line>print $str;</line>
