Re: hello world

Hi Alex!

Thanks for the mail. We used to have a bunch of examples online but 
they all seemed a bit out of date, so I took them off. I'd like to 
start collecting some good, short examples illustrative of what can be 
done with o:XML, so all contributions are welcome. When I find the time 
I'll put up a dedicated page on the website.
What other examples have you come across that don't work? The ones in 
the XML.com article are all missing the namespace declarations, which 
is probably quite silly.

not quite as intended maybe -
>    <o:program xmlns:o="http://www.o-xml.org/lang">
the namespace URI should have a slash:
   <o:program xmlns:o="http://www.o-xml.org/lang/">

that's the 'magic' o:XML namespace - all other XML is simply 
interpreted as literal XML instructions and copied to the output.

running it then produces
$ java -jar objectbox.jar hello.oml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
Hello World

I'm hesitant to put up only a hello world example though, since it 
might be confusing eg "is that how much code is required for hello 
world?!"
A shorter hello world would be:
     <?xml version="1.0"?>
     <o:do xmlns:o="http://www.o-xml.org/lang/">Hello World</o:do>
but then that's not a very informative example!

best regards,

ps Someone else reported problems with the mailing list. Not sure what 
is wrong, I'll investigate..
