Author Topic: The Jedi-Master Log Book Ari Nordström Master Film Handler Posts: 283 From: Göteborg, Sweden Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-19-2000 02:17 PM                     Um, the pages are already in HTML. The real usefulness is when the vast material available is searchable, and there is already a search engine for that purpose. Right? A simple conversion to XML and, for example, the DocBook DTD, could provide a more durable format, and one that could be printed on paper with a minimum of effort as there are a number of DocBook print style sheets available. Such a conversion could be done on the fly, so the fact that new posts are added to the forum is not a problem as such. The trick would instead be to know where to say "enough" and make the conversion (and thus, the book). You may disregard this post if you don't know what I'm talking about. A lot of the work I do when I'm not screening films has to do with tech writing and XML, so I'm quite used to not making sense.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 07-19-2000 03:55 PM                     Unless someone wants to go through and organize all the posts somehow, I think the search feature here is adequate. If it were to be sorted and organized somehow, I would probably vote for the pdf format, simply because everyone has it or can easily get it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-19-2000 04:23 PM                     The current html pages seem to be the most web friendly (and server friendly) method. So long as that search engine is working, you'll get up to the minute comprehensive searches. I make cdrom backups of the forum every couple of days...just in case.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
