Subject: RHTMLO table form
Hello.

In what I am doing, it seems useful to produce forms that mimic
the structure of the document.  As near as I can tell, this is not
something that RHTMLO was meant to do.  And I'm talking HTML (not
CSS or Javascript).

Would you like a document about this once I get things working?  
POD?

Gord

I'm not sure what you mean here.

There's a wiki here that you can contribute to (you just need to send
me your Google account email address, I think).

I'm a dinosaur that would much rather be doing differential
equations or linear systems in FORTRAN, than trying to write UI in
perl.  My intention is to come up with a UI that is pure HTML (no
CSS or Javascript required) for people to work with this data.

HTML does not allow nested forms.  I can easily come up with
nested forms using RHTMLO.  I've read just about all the POD that
is in the Rose::* modules, and a lot of the code (usually starting
with test cases, or examples if present).

My problems, such as they are, are not about not reading some
specific part of a POD document enough times.  I ran into this
back in 1982/83 when I came across a professor teaching operations
research by the book.  If you had a question, he would find a
paragraph or two in the course textbook on the question, and he
would read that section of text as the answer.

I think variety in answering questions is useful.  I am offering
to produce some extra documentation, which is possibly buggy, as I
don't totally understand RDBO or RHTMLO at this point.  I don't
have a gmail address.  Because of having Autism, my preference is
to use LaTeX to produce hyperlinked PDFs, but that isn't what
wikis run on.  :-)

I hope things are drier where you are living, than here.  Too much
flooding in the last week or so.

Well, whatever documentation you produce, I'd be glad to look at it.
Just email it (or a URL to it) to me or to this mailing list when
you're done.

Thank you.  I'll try to produce something reasonable in POD.

Have a great day!
