RE: XSL and IE 5.0 : Nothin` works!

["Livingstone, Stephen" <Livinsb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think IE5 (b2) is pretty good for working with XML.

Not sure about your XSL, but the reason you can't view the XML doc is
'cause you have </i> followed by </i> and so it is not well-formed.

Try this....

	<doc>

	  <chapter1>
		<title>Chapter1</title>
		  <para>
		    Some text about chapter one.
		  </para>
		
	     <main_text>
		The <em>entire</em> story.
	     </main_text>
	  </chapter1>

	  <chapter2>
		<title>Chapter2</title>
		<anytag>AnyText</anytag>
	     <main_text>
		The <i>grand</i> finale bla. bla.
	     </main_text>
		
		<para>
		  Here the conclusion of the story.
		</para>
	   </chapter2>
		
	</doc>

Any joy??

PS. I have been working with XML Applications from Wrox press and I have
found this book to be everything i'd hoped.
Get that book - although. stuff is still changing out there, so you'll
need to keep looking around !

Hope that's some help.
