All right, how about a simplified HTML set of tags that XSLT will parse... UBB for XSLT? I really see the value in UBB type "tagging", but I'm being told I need to write my own parser to parse the dang thing. http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum12/HTML/001704.html So far, what I've see on the net are UBB Message Forums. Mostly PHP, and such... I'm a vbscript kind of guy (classic ASP).
