Re: [xsl] getting XSL to output XSL...

[Gary Frederick <gary.frederick@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wrote a stylesheet that outputs another stylesheet. Here is a snippet

...
  <xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet">
      <xsl:attribute name="version">1.0</xsl:attribute>

       ...all the content...

  </xsl:element>
...

It should output this

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0">
  ...all the content...
</xsl:stylesheet>

There are several other ways to get the xsl tags out. The above uses 
xsl:element which is perhaps a bit 'wordy' but was easier for me to 
understand when I was first learning.
