Node:Dynamic, Next:Extensions, Previous:Mistakes, Up:Using Transbuild
Although Transbuild only generates static files, it does not mean your Web site cannot be dynamic. You could use Transbuild in conjuction with other Web technologies. For example, use it to generate Server Side Include (SSI) pages or Java Server Pages (JSP) files.
You could even use Transbuild to generate CGI scripts. For example, have XSLT scripts which output Perl code. This is not as crazy as it sounds, because one advantage would be consistency between the static and dynamic parts of the site. The HTML result pages from the CGI scripts can be made consistent with the rest of the site.
