[Sigia-l] Converting static pages in a large intranet site to CMS

[Conal Tuohy]

In a current job, we are converting a static public website to use a CMS. We've had people annotating the HTML pages (which were produced using a variety of different HTML editors over a long period of time) to indicate what is "content", by adding class="content" to the appropriate elements. We're using some simple XSLT, running in Apache Cocoon, to extract the content and clean it up (removing <font> tags, etc). There's still going to be a lot of work though.
