I would like to use XSL to create plain ASCII text reports
using XML as a data source. The major requirement is
to be able to place a field in a specific spot on the page,
say "row 6, column 10".
I created an XSL stylesheet that partially worked, however
the whitespace in the XSL was semantic. This resulted in
some very messy XSL.
Can what I want to do be done with just transformations? Or
should I be thinking about modelling my reports with
XSL formatting instructions and building ( or does one exist?)
a formatter to create these ASCII reports.
We are using the MSXML parser/processor.
