Hello!

Not a programmer, I begin with xml, html forms and xslt on Mac.

I plan to use a form to post short texts in a xhtml page and invite end users to add some annotations to the said text. The users would select a specific part of the text posted and each annotation would stand for one specific chain of characters.

My goal is to consolidate the tags obtained from various user's annotations to one xml "knowledge base" containing the original text with all the revision indicators. Then I plan to use xslt sheets to product various reports based on the tags obtained.

my two questions are : 1- am I dreaming ? Is it really possible to do that with xml, xforms, xslt without using java, php, ajax or other seasoned programmer's tools ?

2- What should be my focus for further explorations aiming in that direction ? Which schema, events, sequences should I study ?

Je vous remercie à l'avance,

Please excuse my English.
