mapping of Akoma Ntoso to HTML elements

[Ashok Hariharan]

Is there a standard recommended "mapping" of Akoma Ntoso elements to HTML elements ? 

I can see the logical way to map things (blocks -> div, inlines -> span) , but is there a recommended method ?

Ashok,

I don't know if there is a recommendation per se. I initially tried to map AN elements to their logical HTML counterparts, such as <list> and <blockList> to <ol> or <ul> and blocks to <div> etc. I discovered quite quickly that the semantic differences are too great, AN encodes far more meaning than HTML does.

Instead, I map almost all AN elements to <span> elements with the AN tag name as a class attribute, for example <chapter> maps to <span class="an-chapter">. I then do all styling and layout using CSS and can choose when to display an element as inline or block (not all AN block elements should actually be displayed as block).

I sometimes combine a <num> and a <heading> tag into a single <h*> HTML tag to make it easier to style them together.

Hi Ashok,

please find in attachment the XSLT that we have developed for the Italian Senate in order to transform an XML AKN 3.0 file in XHTML.
The main purpose was to have an XHTML usable by Scriba for producing ePub format.
I am happy if you could test it in order to improve the transformation for all the kind of AKN documents.

Yours,
Monica
