Understanding (yeah, right!) multi-le renditions

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:08:28 +0200

“If a Microsoft Office file contains embedded objects, such as GIF files, and if you use Document Transformation Services (DTS), then when the file is checked into the repository, DTS generates a multi-file rendition. DTS renders the content to HTML but separates the embedded objects into separate files. DTS then zips the rendered output into one zip file, which it gives the zip_html extension. Web Publisher unzips the zip_html rendition and merges the main HTML file with its external application presentation file. Web Publisher then re-zips the files and stores them as the zip_pub_html rendition. When Site Caching Services (SCS) publishes the file, SCS unzips the zip_pub_html file into its constituent files and publishes these to the website.”

“I still remember the first time I was presented with the “n” players in a knockout tournament, no ties, how many matches in the tournament question. n was set at 128; some people were doing the traditional 64+32+16+..+ thing, the rest of us had listened to the teacher. He very pointedly said “Think. How many losers?”. And we were ecstatic children, discovering for ourselves the truth that each match produced precisely one loser, and that the tournament needed 127 people to lose….”
