[DDI-users] DDI 3.0 stylesheets

[Joachim Wackerow]

Rob,

I would like to add some remarks.

The stylesheet which generated the basic output is available for 
download in the same paragraph of this page ("basic display"). The link is:
http://www.ddialliance.org/cocoon/DDI3/rawxml/codebook-generic.xsl

The enhanced approach is a Cocoon pipeline of several stylesheets.

But as Wendy mentioned, the stylesheets expects a DDI file in a format 
of an older version of DDI 3.0, I think the public review version. The 
identification/referencing is in the current candidate draft version 2 
somewhat different to the public version, so it would be some work to 
adjust it to the current candidate draft version 2. Also the 
identification/referencing will change again in the next candidate draft 
version.

I assume these stylesheets will be adapted, when DDI 3.0 is published.
