XILG

Graeme P. Bell

Ever needed a quick and dirty thumbnail generator that takes various image formats and produces small JPEG versions - plus a web page to show them? Well here it is. It takes a folder of images, copies them to a new destination, generates thumbnails, builds an XML database, XSL Transform Stylesheet and a Cascading Stylesheet from those images and writes out a nifty XHTML web page, with internal CSS stylesheet. If you are worried about the tech - don't be - it's all free with XP - end users may not see the cool things in XP, but for programmers it's a whole new playpen full of cuddly toys. If you are serious about XML you can use the generated XML/XSL/CSS to completely change the look of any HTML you derive from them. More typical users can hack the internal CSS stylesheet in the generated HTML file.
