Yes. Probably.

The only issue with this (it is not solved my way, anyway) is that the webmaster in our company uses DreamWeaver, and with that crap he cannot edit XML documents.

I think what I'll do is:

- Start from: a "source.html" file which is the same as the proposed one except the first line, which makes DreamWeaver go mad, as it thinks it's PHP code. Store that in our CVS repository.

- Prepare a publishing script that:
- Adds the right first line
- Converts that document into an XSL document which IMPORTs some templates, using my HTML2XSL XSL file.


- On production, XML documents are processed by the generated XSL files.


Anything simpler, to be able to import the templates, from the Literal Result Element as Stylesheet?

What you need is probably simplified stylesheet syntax, aka "Literal Result Element as Stylesheet", see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.html#result-element-stylesheet
This way xslt instructions can be embedded into any xml document.
You have just declare xsl namespace and provide xsl:version attribute.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xsl:version="1.0"
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<head>
<title>Some title with weird entities like&nbsp;&eacute;&icirc;</title>
</head>
<body>
      <xsl:value-of select="/doc/somenode/something" />
      <xsl:apply-templates select="/doc/otherthings" />
</body>
</html>
