Except that XSL is not the XML Style Language. It's a somewhat open argument as to whether it's the Extensible Style language, or Extensible Stylesheet Language or Extensible Style Sheet Language, but that's as far as it's been stretched (so far). Take a look at the first paragraph at: http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xsl.html As you can see from that, a couple of specifications have been released using the name Extensible Stylesheet Language, maybe that one will stick. There are a lot of free tools using xml and xsl out there. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
