Re: XSL Limitation? Is this possible?

Bonjour Emmanuel:

Ca va?  J'aime excuse ma francais, S.V.P. - il est difficile pour moi en
Vancouver, Canada, il parlais le langue de l'anglais seullement, non
francais.

The example you gave is very simple for a straight translation but
sometimes, authors need to process the information into a different
format depending on the end user.  Take a simple E-commerce database
that has record sets of different products.  For one end user, we may
wish to show the fields "name,price,retail cost, taxable and product
information" in a rich graphical format.  Another user may wish to see
only text for the fields"name, product, {retail cost} X .6 = wholesale
cost, and available inventory.  Still, another user may be another
program that needs just pure XML sent to it but in a different order so
it can process the nodes to present 3 or 4 different views for the end
user.

If it can be done simply, we try and do this but the real world
sometimes presents difficult problems to overcome with more complex
syntax.  XSLT is great at tackling those problems.
