Re: [xsl] html as input to xslt

[B Tommie Usdin <btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are asking a perfectly reasonable question. Unfortunately, you 
don't really supply enough information to make it easy to answer 
except in the most general way. That, super-general answer is "yes, 
one can transform XHTML documents using XSLT". But that doesn't 
really address your question. From the list guidelines:

Please re-post, showing small samples of your stylesheet, etc. 
Remember that everything posted to XSL-List will be archived in 
public.
