RE: [xsl] xml /xslt cms

[Roelof Wobben <rwobben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,



the website is made in Textpattern but very unstable because I want to decide
how many articles are on a page.

That can be done with a very complex script and that's why Im looking at other
alternatives.



I have asked questions on the forum of Textpattern but most of them don't get
a answer.



Roelof
