[daisy] Daisy some general questions

[Patrick Ahles]

Hello Elie,

I think Daisy will fit your need, but you have to invest some time in:
1) document types (see
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_4/repository/general/17.html) for
defining your documents
2) maybe document type styling (see
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_4/daisywiki/general/26.html) for
defining how they should look on the screen
3) navigation (see
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_4/daisywiki/general/12.html) so pages
end up 'automagically' in the right spot (using queries maybe based on
author or some field identifying the chapter)

HTH,
