Custom XML Tags in datacapture.cfg

mychal

I'm looking for resources on using custom tags in my DCTs, or at least generating DCRs which use custom tags instead of the item tag for each block of data.

Any suggestions?

My end goal is to move content contribution for print pieces into TeamSite, and to process them using either Quark or InDesign - both of which choke on all tags having the same name, regardless of the specified "name" attribute.

One solution would be to use a PT to "normalize" (I believe that's the right term?) the XML from the standard IWOV structure to something that can be interpreted by the other programs. i.e. changing:

<item>Name</item><value>Fred</value>

to

<Name>Fred</Name>

Another possibility is to look into using custom DTDs for your DCTs/DCRs instead of using "iwov" style DCTs/DCRs - you might want to take a look at the iwsym2dct CLT (I haven't had any personal experience using it, so I cannot provide any in-depth examples here - but other folks have and I can think of one who might respond before too long ...)
