Re: Publishing custom XML content

Hi Eric,

>> For a specific contenttype (i.e. SilvaDocument) multiple renderers 
(both XSLT and non-XSLT) can be registered. A site-wide (or at least 
Silva Root wide) default renderer for the content type can be set. Also 
each individual content object can be set to override this default and 
render with a specific renderer, by changing a field in the metadata.
Great. :)

However, our content will most likely be stored outside of Silva. Is it  
- or will it be - possible to import and render such an object into 
Silva, when needed? (Some sort of on-the-fly importing, actually.)

Regards,
Yuri
