As far as I have read, eZ publish applies in priciple xml "formatting" tags on the content, combined with CSS stylesheets and special "templates" to format, render and layout text content for web (xhtml) and correspondingly for pdf.
The dedicated xml way however, to publish "real" xml structured source documents like e.g DocBook xml, makes use of XSL instead, that is typical:
a) XSLT stylesheet and XSLT processor to generate XHTML
b) XSL-FO and FOP to generate PDF 1) I wonder if eZ publish is planned to move into the direction of the XSL way above? 2) Next I wonder if eZ publish is planned to be able to manage, doing intelligent indexing, searching and sorting and lastly publish documents that is fully xml tagged ("real" xml custom applications)? From earlier discussions on the OOo xml-dev list, some clever people pointed on a trick to place "styles" onto the OOo xml elements. This combined with an external XSLT filter would produce the desired target xml with the structure intended, e.g <text:span style:auto-style="keyword">Data</text:span> could then be <keyword>Data</keyword>.
