* transformations contain one or more "datasource" meta nodes
** these nodes define the required datasources
** up until now it was required to define the whole path to the file to be loaded
* the implementation of directory linkage in b942f8e removed the underlying need for providing the source / target prefix
** this commit now updates the generation transformations to match this change
*** this simplifies the datasource definition process for the end-user
*** additionally it makes the target / source directories easier to maintain
* changed cleanage task implementation to remove the whole directory and recreate it from scratch
** otherwise directory linkage and in turn the whole generation failed when the target directory did not exist in the first place
* removed task reordering in the process transformation
** tasks are now processed exactly as they were scheduled
** this was changed so that e.g. the "00_content" directory is linked before the first datasource is required

* e.g. removing the target directory before each regeneration and symlinking CSS files
** this will be extended to include ressource directories and so on
* renamed "formatter.xsl" stylesheet to "helper.xsl" as it now includes various helper templates
* finally checked the main CSS into the VCS

* expanded "02_data/pages.xsl" transformation to include pages in subfolders
* "03_meta/categories.xsl" transformation generates a categorized view of all pages simmilar to the one provided for tags by "03_meta/tags.xsl"
* "99_result/category/category.xsl" transformation generates category overview pages
* added basic project related pages inside the "projects" category
|
|
* the output node is defined in both the master and datasource transformation
** i.e. they do not have to be defined in transformations making use of one of these transformations
|
|
* 'h1' node is used as title and any other node as content
* modified result page transformation accordingly
|

* "source" directory contains layers as subdirectories
** ordered by their name
** e.g. layer 0 is "00_content" and contains the content alongside some metadata
* transformations contained within the "source" layers are processed sequentally
* transformations define their requirements in a "meta" variable
** the "meta" variable is interpreted by the core transformation "generate.xsl"
* requirements are currently datasources and target information
** every transformation may have one datasource of type "main"
*** this data source offers e.g. the option to iterate over it
** every transformation may have a arbitrary number of "support" datasources
*** e.g. "meta" is a support datasource
** the target node may provide a fixed target path or a Xpath to be evaluated
* the result of each transformation is written to the appropriate layer of the "result" directory
* this approach to XSLT based static site generation should be quite flexible and offer good expandability
** e.g. adding new datasource options and types
