[x3d-public] X3D Documentation and specification support for EXPORT, IMPORT

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

EXPORT and IMPORT are a powerful way to extend X3D.  This is especially true since events can be exchanged between parent and Inline child scenes, without requiring the extra work necessary for construction of prototypes.

Modeling a pair of scenes that use INLINE with IMPORT and EXPORT can be a little tricky.  The X3dToXhtml.xslt stylesheet, which produces X3D Documentation for scenes, now has improved support for EXPORT and IMPORT.  The pretty-print HTML markup notes when nodes have connections and also providing summaries in the Event Graph ROUTE Tables.

Have fun with X3D Extensibility using EXPORT/IMPORT! 🙂


all the best, Don
