Re: [xsl] Diagramming XSLT

Yes... thanks.

I have Camtasia - it is great if you want to show how to use a program. 
Click on this menu item - get a drop down menu, click on an option - here's 
what happens.  Great little tool for doing this - I am using this for an 
upcoming product I am working on.

What I was interested in doing is rather than explaining how an XSLT 
processor works (words) - create an animation demonstating how it works. 
I've done this in classes I have given using diagrams - but it is hard to 
capture the process of what is going on.  I have to do a lot of arm waving 
and explanations.

I have considered Flash - but haven't had access to it for long enough to 
see what functionality it can provide and whether it can implement what I 
envision.  Maybe I'll take a second look.

Cheers...Hugh
