[Cuis-dev] EruditeXMLBook example

[Mariano Montone]

I attach one more cool example.

An XML book with an UML extension:

This is the source:

<book>
   <requirements>
     <feature>EruditeXMLBookHTML</feature>
     <feature>EruditeXMLBookSmalltalk</feature>
     <feature>EruditeXMLBookUML</feature>
   </requirements>
   <chapter>
     <title>Intro</title>

     <p>Hello world</p>
     <p>
       <ul>
         <li>Hello</li>
         <li>World</li>
       </ul>
     </p>
     <p>
       <smalltalk>
         Object new
       </smalltalk>
     </p>
     <p>
       <doit>
         Smalltalk inspect
       </doit>
     </p>
     <p>
       <uml>
         Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
         Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response

         Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
         Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
       </uml>
     </p>
   </chapter>
</book>

I attach PDF with formatted document.
