Re: I just want to use a link! What now?

/ Jim Owens <jowens@magma.ca> was heard to say:
| I'm a lost newbie. Please help me back on track.
|
| I need to use XML for a specific tech-writing goal. To teach myself about XML,
| I'm creating a small, very simple web page coded in XML and rendered with CSS
| (no DTD just yet).
|
| On this web page, I want to use graphics and hypertext links.  I thought I could
| use Xlinks for that, but now I'm guessing not.  Browser support is too thin.
| There's not much enthusiasm for Xlinks, and I'm not sure why.
|
| Is there some other technology I should be using? Do I need to transform the XML
| into XHTML or something before feeding it to the browser?  Would I need, say,
| CGI scripting using an XSL interpreter?
|
| Sorry to be a nuisance, but I feel like I'm at a dead end and need help.

In addition to Simon's comments, I think you might get additional support
From general purpose mailing lists like xml-dev. This list is really for
comments on the XLink specification.

Please let me know if this message addresses your concerns.
