Generating Taconite command documents
// description of your code here
Hello,
This is a port of a php class used to generate XML taconite command documents, useful for (very) easy and powerful ajaxy stuff, if you don't know what that is just check it there in french : http://www.desfrenes.com/playground/taconite/ or there in english : http://www.malsup.com/jquery/taconite/.
Basically what it does is generate an XML document that is later processed by a javascript plugin which executes a serie of DOM modifications.
About the code, I'm a Django beginner as well as a Python beginner so kind advices are welcome.
Cheers.
