Could actions make Freeway’s HTML import smarter?

Freeway could be used to create the interface (visual parts) of an application, but it does not generate any of the logical code you would need in order for an app to do anything useful. What kind of app are you interested in building? What do you want it to do? If you can say more about that part, I can offer you more specific advice.

If so could you please tell me which way?

I did a lot of work in this area when I was doing the stylesheet extension library system several years ago, and before that, when I was building the Template Helper Action. There are some possibilities here, and some areas where the Action API is really difficult to reason with. First, you can probably do much of this XML-munging in an external library like libxml, called through the command line. But that uses XSLT 1, not 2 (which I believe is still mostly an academic exercise) and thus the character encoding on output may still be forced on you. XSLT 1 is awfully fussy about non-ASCII characters. Under the API hood, most things to do with external files either deal with them as a sequence of bits or as a string of text in whatever character encoding scheme you have told Freeway the file belongs to. I admit I don’t understand this interface as well as I could. While working on Template Helper, I discovered that Freeway was generating a file with unicode contents but giving it the magic bits of a Mac Roman text file, or something like that. Result was predictably awful – anything above 127 in the ASCII table was converted into something other.Walter> On Nov 26, 2015, at 7:17 AM, Leif Halvard Silli email@hidden wrote:> > ### Questions:> > 0.
