HI Sebastian, The point was that DSSSL is too hard too learn for editors. I replied that DSSSL and XSL both share the same level of difficulties. I'll be more precise. CSS is easier to learn but also less powerful. Both DSSSL and XSL resolve problems you cannot resolve with CSS but also requires more knowledge. Both DSSSL and XSL are more sophisticated languages than CSS (this does not include STTS which does transformation). Like all languages, it requires apprenticeship. regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Sebastian Rahtz Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 1999 8:21 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: XSLT vs JSP Didier PH Martin writes: > probably rely on a much simple language like CSS.
