[WM] re: sitemap grep

[alex canady]

thanks for the information!  i will have to find some
quiet time to play with it.  it looks promising.  i'll
post additional questions here if i have any (i think
i will).

as for enhancements, i think this dynamic sitemap (yes
i know that is a confusing term as there is already a
dynamic attribute - u come up with another name) would
be useful as i have found it implemented with server
side code  and javascript on a lot of sites.  i expect
if the site is large or complex it would beg more of
this sort of sitemap versus the complete sitemap.

one thing i thought about was creating a sitemap for
*each* page to be output ... something like 

<sitemap name=${content_name}sitemap ...>

or some such and use the prune and skip features of
grep to make individually custom and named sitemaps.  

so each output section could be something like:

<for ....>
  <out ...>
      ${template_start} #(headers and table
definition)
                      # this is for the lefthand side
      ${content_name}sitemap # i know the name isnt
right but you know what i  mean
      ${template_middle} # new row
      ${content_name}   # the righthand side
      ${template_end}    # end table end html
     </out.
</for>


or some such  ... so maybe there's a way to do a
custom sitemap for each output page that wouldn't
require the main webmake package to be modified... its
a thought.

as i said i will have to get some time to work on the
ideas you gave me.  as for the other question on the
content_matching thing i resolved it with using the
"...........txt" glob and probably should have just
created a list (as indicated in a previous message)
when i slurped in the content with the <contents...>
tag.

thanks for the info.

best regards,

alex
