Bill Albing's Example Files
Descriptions of these files are courtesy of Bill Albing.
- All Farpoint XML Example Files
- samples.xsl -- this is the XSLT that transforms XML of our sample code, usually in C# and VisualBasic, into individual text files that can be loaded into our software product documentation process that spits out HTML pages that contain the sample code.
- SpWinSamp-CellColRows.txt -- this is a text file with XML of our sample code, which SAXON then parses into individual files when using the samples.xsl XSLT.
- FarPoint03DTD.dtd -- this is our home-grown DTD for the human-authored portion of our docs. It's similar to DITA in that it has concepts, tasks, and reference topics and then within those topics are individual elements such as paragraphs and bullet lists, etc.
- FarPointSpreadWin3.0-VS2005-DevGuide.xsl -- this is an XSLT that transforms XML of our human-authored procedural topics into HTML for compiling into our product documentation.
