RE: [xsl] x-schema in source xml causing no matches...

[Mike Ferrando <mikeferrando@xxxxxxxxx>]

Warren W.,
I had the same problem. I was trying to use a stylesheet on an XML
document to process it to HTML.

Everytime I opened up the XSL I got all these errors. I even tried to
use the "create schema/dtd" function in XmlSpy and it didn't work.

My purpose was to edit the XML, not the XSL.

What I did was to never open the XSL in XmlSpy. I merely clicked on
the xsl tool bar button and browsed to find the stylesheet I wanted.

Everything was fine then.

I spoke to some other people who use XmlSpy alot and they said that
they do not use this program to edit their XSL.
