RE: [xsl] Help Me Do Something Bad

["kent" <kent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought it would have been answered but I really couldn't find a fitting
solution, so I decided to come to the gurus. Thanks for the interest.

I am doing this client side. I am doing the transformation in java with the
standard javax.xml.transform libraries.

I have to regex this? Really, I would have thought there was some built in
xml technology that could handle this.

Client-side or server-side, in process or out? RegEx works well if you
do this client side or server side out of XSLT process.  Mike Kay,
DaveP, David Carlisle, or Wendell can all give you a much better feel
for your options here though...  I think they have answered this
question so many times its become second, third, and fourth nature by
now (if there is such a thing :)  At the moment I am finding myself
trying to get out of 2.0 mode and its not working...  I'm not sure if
this is a good thing or a bad thing... :)

Cheers :)
