NTS: investigate automatic conversion from XML to HTML via XSLT

petecooper opened this issue · 2 comments

Thoughts on decoupling pophelp from rpc.textpattern.com to reduce manual work and keep pophelp fresh:

  • auto fetch latest pophelp files from https://github.com/textpattern/pophelp/, then…
  • use xsltproc to split single XML into HTML files, either on hosted server or GitHub CI, then…
  • use static site generator at pophelp.textpattern.com or similar to host files, with appropriate web server redirects from rpc.textpattern.com.

@philwareham - I can't assign this to me, please add me to whichever team is attached to this repo - no urgency. Thank you.

So this is to remove the legacy RPC usage, yes? i.e. just serve those as flat files now for older Textpattern installs?

Correct. We can do it all with a modern web server + SSG and eventually put rpc out to pasture.
