Finally, using xml display technologies: xml, xslt, etc. A nightmare
IMO. Don't even go there with koha. I've been there before and am
not keen to go back. Full XSLT is apparently turing-complete and it
seems really dangerous not being able to tell a template from an
infinite loop. If people really want to do this, let them use XML
output from koha and reformat it.
iirc, chris suggested a Perl XSLT engine when we had to choose our tools
for 2.0.0 He thought it was a "heavy idea", so was not very enthousiastic.
I tried to install the tool, but never succeded.
The conclusion was :
- it's a complex solution for developpers
- it's a nightmare solution for users
=> it's not our solution
:-)
