Subject: XSL Parser From: "Koh, Justin (Intern)" <kohj@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 11:27:59 -0800 |
What is the difference in the MSXSL Parser and the other XSL Paser. I am new to XSL and have first been introduced to MSXSL active X object to convert my file from XML to HTML. Is there a advantage of one over another? I realized that most of the documentations on the web are on templates. Should I convert my current MSXSL compatible codes to template types? It seems that there are more documentation and flexibility in templates. Am I right to say?
