Re: [xsl] Processing source in a text format : visual aid

Michael,

what we need is to make it easy for our clients to create custom stylesheets
for processing the equivalent XML, which itself is the result of applying an
identity stylesheet.
Most probably, they'll have to create the equivalent XML first (probably by
saving it to the file or displaying it as an HTML page), then they'll create
a new stylesheet by looking at this XML fragment. Ideally, though, it would
be nice if they could skip this step of producing  the equivalent XML, so
that there's only one stage in the process
Thanks for your help
