Huh? If Netscape sees <B>...</B>, the ... should be bold, unless you have some stylesheet that tells it to do otherwise. > Is there a way to > include HTML on the fly, not knowing where in the tree it is and have > the XSL stylesheet output it as though it were HTML and not text? First of all you should have an <xsl:output method="html"> at the top of your stylesheet. This won't actually affect how <B> tags are output but it will affect things like <br />, which becomes <br>. Any HTML that you want in your output document you just define in the templates that are applied to your input document. The following creates your basic HTML structure. Is this what you meant? <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>Hello World!</title> </head> <body> <h1>Hello World!</h1> </body> </html> </xsl:template> > If I > use straight <B></B> tags in XML, is there a way to have a stylesheet > interpret all <B></B> tags automatically? If you have a <b>...</b> in your stylesheet, any working processor will put a <b>...</b> in your output document. If you want <b>...</b> in your input XML to become something else in your output, then define a template. The following converts <b> elements to <strong>. <xsl:template match="b|B"> <strong><xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()" /><strong> </xsl:template> Hope this helps. If it doesn't, then send a little more information about the problem, with a short input document, stylesheet, and the desired output. -- Warren Hedley XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
