This approach is in the base of the whole XSLT 1.0 functional programming library FXSL. A number of articles about FXSL and functional programming in XSLT 1.0 are available at: http://fxsl.sourceforge.net I'd recommend specifically the first and second article (in that order), which introduce the most basic concepts of higher-order functions and provide the implementation of the most generic design patterns -- folds (primitive recursion) over lists, strings and trees, maps, iteration, currying and partial application. The FXSL library contains useful functions for: - calculating various math functions and their inverse (e.g. trigonometric, hyperb.trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic,... etc) and for solving equations of one real variable, numerical differentiation and integration. - random number generator, generating numbers according to pre-defined distribution, randomising a list. - various text-processing -- tokenizing, text justification, spelling checking/correction and generation of close words. The FXSL library has three different editions, which support MSXML, XALAN and SAXON. It can be downloaded at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fxsl/ ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
