Re: [xsl] Re: XSL to ODF/OOXML

Hmm... I don't think this approach will work here. I did try to just
change the output to XML and everything seemed great. The problem of
course is the html version of my site broke. I wish I could think of
some XSL solution, whereby I could pass the transformation a variable
which would change the context to XML.

As ugly as it sounds, I almost think pattern matching / search and
replacing my HTML to death to make it XML is way simpler. I could just
strip errant tags out of it entirely.
