3.9 Renditions
Rendition of a document is pretty much the representation of the original document with differences only in its format. Content Server internally has converters to support numerous renditions. Additionally, integrating Media Services with Content Server can provide support for rich media formats as well.
An example of rendition is as follows:
A web developer creates a content template, say create_article.xml, and attaches presentation XSL files to it in order to transform it to an HTML file and a WML file. The content created from this template is rendered in the form of an HTML file as well as a WML file for display on a website and a wireless application respectively.
The HTML and WML files differ from the original content file only in format and not in their content.
Figure 3.6 explains this in a simplified fashion.
