The XML-Grammar Meta-Project
The XML-Grammar project aims to define several XML grammars for specialised tasks, with schemas, converters and processors. We use the Web-CPAN meta-project on Berlios.de for version control and other services. Our preferences are to write the code in Perl, XSL Transformations (XSLT), and RELAX NG for the schema.
We try to write XML-Grammar in a test-driven-development (TDD) fashion, where we write tests before implementing new features or fixing bugs.
Sometimes, we define simpler and less verbose text-based markup languages that are in turn converted to the XML.
List of Modules
- XML-CompareML - an XML grammar for managing multi-system and multi-item comparisons. (Not in the XML-Grammar namespace for historical reasons.)
-
XML-Grammar-Fiction - for authoring prose (such as
stories, novellas or novels). Includes a convenient well-formed text format.
- XML-Grammar-Screenplay - for writing screenplays and other scripts (for plays, T.V. shows, etc.). Includes a convenient proto-text format.
- XML-Grammar-Fortune - allows one to collect quotes (or Unix-like fortune cookies) using an XML grammar, with a lot of rich meta-data, and to produce XHTML and plain-text from them.
- XML-Grammar-ProductsSyndication - an XML grammar for creating lists of products. See my recommendations page for examples.
