Bread Crumb Trail. I've been thinking of adding a Bread crumb trail on the site. Still debating if this trail should be dynamic (i.e. a true trail of the pages that the user accessed) or a static one (hard-coded on the page itself).

Preparing for the next release. Just preparing for the next release of Matra. It would be a minor release and will contain only minimal changes - mainly refactoring changes which could break your program if you're using Matra. But since its beta, I feel it should be fine. These changes ought to go in ... don't want to put it in the legacy "baggage" that Matra shuld carry.

Glossary: Definition Lists. I was wondering what was the appropriate tag for the glossary. Most people seem to use tables for their glossary - but thats not the most appropriate tag. I feel that the Definition List tags should be used for presenting the glossary. So the html will look something like this -

Glossary of Terms

Kaprekar Constant: A number that

Glossary. I feel its time to add a Glossary to my project pages.

Matra Site: Old html pages. I saw some of my old html pages still turning up on search results. I wonder how long it would take for them to be purged from the google index. All the new pages are php pages and the old ones have been converted to php pages. I had put the nofollow and noindex meta tags to the html pages; added the noarchive tag too today.

Bots on my site. Have been seeing a lot of bots lurking around in my matra site ... plan to add a page, mainly for my reference, of a list of bots found on my site with a description about them. Right now there are around 10-15 of them.

XHTML strict dtdtree. Added two more dtdtrees to the Matra site - RSS 0.91 dtdtree and XHTML strict dtdtree. Added floral white background to the pages. Underlined links - so that its apparent that they are links.

2004-06-08T14:44:00.000-07:00

Speech Synthesis Markup Language. Added the Speech Synthesis Markup Language dtdtree to the Matra web site.

2004-06-06T16:14:00.000-07:00

Print media CSS. Modified both the Kaprekar and Matra web sites. Added a separate CSS for the print media. Now the navbar and ads won't print - which you fire a printout - so only the content will be printed. Added Google search and ads on the site.

2004-06-03T21:42:00.000-07:00

Wireless Markup Language. Added the WAP Wireless Markup Language dtdtree to the Matra web site.

Matra Project Site Redesign. I modified the Matra project site along the lines of the Kaprekar project site ... and it was a breeze! The whole change was done in an hour or two! So the Matra site no longer has any frames and still retains a navbar - a dotted one that doesn't have the no-scroll problem. The site uses CSS. An the pages are php based. I reused the tempate and CSS from the

MathML dtdtree. And yeah ... I created the MathML DTDTree yesterday and posted it on the Matra web site. Click on "Sample dtdtrees" on the left navbar and then on the MathML section in the content frame.

Matra 0.8.2b Released. I released a new version of Matra yesterday night and posted it to freshmeat today. This is a minor bugfix release of Matra. A few bugs related to parsing within conditional sections have been dealt with. The DTDTree has been added/updated for the following DTDs: MARC, SVG, Reach, Gutenberg, and MathML. The version is named Matra 0.8.2b. You can get more information on

New MARC dtdtrees. I regenerated the dtdtrees for the updated MARC dtds using Matra and placed them in the Matra project website (http://matra.sourceforge.net). These dtds now no longer have orphan elements. 5/7/2004.

2004-05-17T12:51:00.000-07:00

MARC dtds. I recently notified MARC about a problem with their dtds [ MARC Authority/Classification Record and MARC Bibliographic/Holdings/Community Information Record]. Man! They are fast. They have incorporated the changes already! I'll regenerate the dtdtrees and post it on my site. 5/7/2004.

Matra - a DTD parser (http://matra.sourceforge.net) Back in '99 I came up with a Tree structure for me to visualize my DTDs. The concept is simple and helps to visually see the structure of the DTD - albeit a bit simplified than the actual structure. For instance, for the DTD
