[Thread Next] Re: Using XSLT to transform XHTML to XHTML (again!)To: NULL Date: 7/7/2008 8:51:00 AM Hi Martin That is really neat - & even better it works :) I really appreciate you showing me this. BTW I was also very interested by what you wrote: > ... adding templates to > perform some changes is a fundamental XSLT approach you should try to > become familiar with. I had to get to grips with XSLT about a year ago. Although I'm happy with most development tasks (C, C#, SQL etc) I found it very difficult to get to grips with transforms. I found this article <http://www.xfront.com/rescuing-xslt.html> which was written by soneone with the same issues (programming experience but problems getting to grips with transforms). His insight (to me) was to treat XSLT as a powerful templating language, allowing me to embed the desired HTML output in the XSLT and to treat the <xsl...> instructions as special tags that get values from the input XML. Anyway sorry to go on but I found XSLT much easier when following the 'template' approach. I understand it may be non-ideal and I may need to expand my XSLT later on.
