Hi,
I have chosen to use XML for a project as it is a project that needs to produce a web page and PDF from the same content, and which also could be the first of many, and I figured that this would make things a lot easier as it would just be a case of using the existing XML structure.

Anyway, I am finding the process a bit of a steep learning curve. At the moment I am looking at designing an .xsl to transform the .xml into my website and possibly just importing the .xml into Adobe InDesign for now to do my .pdf.

However, the thing I can't seem to work out is the best way to design the website. I have created a .xsl file which makes the front page look perfectly but don't know how to start generating multiple .html pages. At the moment I am doing all my transforming in Oxygen XML Editor. I have looked into editing some of the Frameworks, Docbook HTML Chunks for example, but just can't work out where to start. I basically need to change the structure a lot, and already have some .css stylesheets which I was hoping to add but am struggling with it.

Is this the best way of doing it? By using one of the existing frameworks and customizing it? I am finding that a lot of the information out there on XML and XSL is so full of jargon and overly-descriptive instructions that it is confusing the hell out of me. If someone could offer some advice or maybe tell me where a good place is to find some information/tutorials on creating a website from XML in chunks I would be extremely grateful!!

Thanks
Russ

Consider using HTML and a PDF generator that works with HTML, like dompdf ( www.digitaljunkies.ca ) or HTML2PDF ( http://html2pdf.seven49.net/Web/ ) to generate the PDFs. Another option is to use something like www.livedocx.com as a service to generate the PDF

The trick to creating multiple page forms is to use the hidden fields.

In order to write a multi-page HTML form, you need to save the answers from the first, second, etc. pages to submit to the server when you get to the last page.
