RE: [xsl] xslt transformation did not create any output

[Roelof Wobben <rwobben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oke,



That's fair.

I think I have learn myself the basics of converting a xml file into a html
file.

call-template and how to convert a html file are things I do not understand.



Do you think I can better goto the library and looking for a good xslt book or
is there a site where I can learn everything

with exercises so I can see if I understand it right.



I know the w3schools site but that one does not have exercises for
practicing,



Roelof
