Subject: Re: Formatting text output handler [WAS : Re: Formating to text] From: Eric van der Vlist <vdv@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 19:28:03 +0200 |
The text output handler I have implemented (see http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/archive/msg10315.html) is doing the same kind of things with 2 differences : 1) I am using XHTML compatible elements (<p>, <ul>, <li>, <pre>). 2) The transformation is done as a output method of the XT XSLT processor meaning that you don't need to go through a temporary file since the output method is directly fed with SAX event. So, it's indeed the same approach :=) Thanks Eric Louis-Dominique Dubeau wrote: > > Eric van der Vlist <vdv@xxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > > > [1 <text/plain; us-ascii (7bit)>] > > For those who have followed this thread and are interested by the > > riddle, the transformation can be done by the attached stylesheet. > > > > Now, this is so verbose and slow that I wonder if writing a formatting > > text output handler wouldn't really be the best solution. > > My approach to this problem is usually to have a stylesheet output > minimal formating information.
