Re: [gdome]serializing a node

[rob <mailingLists pangolin org uk>]

Hi,

 thanks for the replys sorry I wasn't clear enough in my first message.

What I'm doing is cut/copy/paste part of the dom using selections. This may
then be inserted into the same app or another app that can do something
meaningfull with part of the dom or it can be converted into text, html, or
whatever is useful to the client.

I've got it working by converting the node to xml with xmlNodeDump passing
it to the client which re-parses it and inserts it into the Dom (or if it's
something that wants text it just gets the xml).

I have no idea if this is the best way of doing it so any sugestions are
welcome.

The app itself is just a cTree represention of the dom. It allows you to
edit the dom buy moveing bits of it around, inserting nodes, deleting
nodes, cut/copy/paste nodes, editing attributes and text nodes etc. By the
end of the week it should also be able to ensure that the changes you make
are valid. 

This is my first C app, also first GNOME app, also first xml app so...
