I have worked a bit on such a model some time ago, but this work is not finished and mostly prototypical. Especially, not all CALS features have been incorated yet. Currently a simple DSSSL stylesheet is used to generate a CALS table for further formatting. http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/alcovebook/xtable/ A quick cut'n'paste from the DTD header: | An XML DTD for a semantic table model, trying to keep close | to the CALS model. | | Currently features: | - nested <row>s | - no <tfoot> (useless) | | Will feature: | - <rowlevelspec>s to hold rowlevel's optional title and to | allow <row rowlevel="name"> | - nested <column>s | - anonymous (title-less rows and cols) | - no <entry morerows="..."> (use anonymous rows instead) | - no <thead> (too much layout oriented, use column titles instead) | - no <spanspec> (too much layout oriented, use nested (and maybe anonymous) | columns instead) | - annotations on row/column titles If anyone is interested to lend a hand, I may be motivated to work on this again :) Regards, -- Yann Dirson <Yann.Dirson@fr.alcove.com> http://www.alcove.com/ Technical support manager Responsable de l'assistance technique Senior Free-Software Consultant Consultant senior en Logiciels Libres Debian developer (dirson@debian.org) Développeur Debian
