[Koha-devel] Deprecating the Non-XSLT display on Detail and Search/List Results

[Gaetan Boisson]

  Hi all,

i have never ever had an instance of Koha running with the non-xslt display.

The few times i forgot to activate it gave catastrophic results, and i 
quickly put some stylesheets there. Maybe it's different in marc21.

Our default xslt stylesheets do need a lot more work to get better 
actually (i am speaking for unimarc here). But it does seem to me like 
it is a better idea to do it in xslt rather than in the templates. 
(Because whatever we do there can be built upon by each library that 
uses Koha more easily. And because users could share what they do here 
like they do it for sql reports.)

Best,
