Armin,

You have my sympathies! It sounds like trying to mix cake batter with a screwdriver.

Maybe you can accomplish something more graceful by using Xalan's extension functions and/or access to Java? I am not a Java programmer -- which makes me suppose that a magician might be able to conjure up something from Java libraries for handling HTML....

Cheers,
Wendell

Should is tell you the truth?
I parse every character of the content!
So i extract all things i need for the formatting. Why? Because i can't transfer the content in a xml tree (XSLT 1.0).
I use a "character" recursion template and extract all information i need.
-> not what i want, but not other possibility in XSLT 1.0, because all transformation have to be done in the ram - no save to the disk and also a save to the disk and open again doesn't help, because the database output is not a well formed XHTML as you see.
