The WMS client and WMS Server howto should probably include a section as well with info specific to the use of SLD in client and server mode. Or maybe we don't need a special set of docs for WMS-SLD and it can just go in new sections of the WMS client and server howtos?

Actually, I'll assign to Jeff to take the lead on this (with Darren?) and bug Assefa to get the info he needs to get started.

There actually was a HowTo written (by Assefa and me) for SLD for the GeoInnovations 2002 project. (I've attached the latest versions.) There was also a similar document written for FE. I haven't submitted these documents yet because I was waiting on some further material (examples, etc.) from Assefa. Jeff, you can take them over from here. I'll attach the FE documents to another bug.

I guess the first step would be to add the docbook source to the mapserver_docs CVS and have it linked from the 4.2 docs page. Then more examples and more meat can be added to the document. BTW, this may sound like a stupid question, but is your docbook document compatible with what is used by the MapServer MDP?

Jeff, Darren, The only modifications I wanted to do the document is to have the sld examples included in the doc instead (orin addition) of having a URL to the demo. There are examples for each sld type. I am not even sure if this is a good idea since the document will be very long with the examples inside it, but at the same time, If the URL does not work for some reason, the user will loose the examples. I guess having then at both places is the best option. Jeff : do you need my help on this ? You can add the examples using the url. For example for line examples, the url is http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/msapps/world_testdata/tests/sld_tests/sld_line_simple.xml and you can copy paste the sld into the document.

i think bug#919 affects this bug. I made some changes to the way we show the sld examples (so the user can click and see each sld definition)...but having an example inline for each request would be too long. I personally think having one simple sld example inline and then having the rest of the sld's linked is fine. marking as fixed.
