Hi guys, As part of Veda's upcoming theming book, you may know that I volunteered to write a chapter on Deliverance / xdv — on the condition that I made it available on plone.org, and separately gave them permission to publish my version in the book. It is now available for your reading pleasure: http://plone.org/documentation/manual/theming There are a couple of things you should know before subjecting this to the standard process: - Until Veda has said that it's OK, we shouldn't make any changes to this document, as she will be copying this into the print-ready version. So we can't have any unfinished sentences or notes in it just yet. - Once Veda has given her OK, it's fair game for editing and expanding — although I'd appreciate a heads-up if you do, so I can help out where I can. - The document is relatively brief, it doesn't walk you through an end-to-end theming exercise, but gives you all the information to experiment with it on your own. An idea would probably be to have a companion piece (or section) for people that need hand-holding every part of the way of the actual HTML/CSS theming process. Hopefully this will fill some of the missing void around Deliverance and collective.xdv, and make transform-based theming accessible to a larger audience. I also spend some time talking about what the differences between the different approaches are, and when to use one or the other. I won't push this to the review queue until Veda has signed off on it — but feel free to read it and offer your comments and improvements/corrections here on the list in the meantime! -- Alexander Limi · http://limi.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Plone-docs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plone-docs
