Re: [xsl] Determining the extension of the output file?

["bix xslt" <bix_xslt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Esther,

Reading through your email, it appears that you have a few transformation 
paths:  XML->XML, XML->HTML.  However, you mention that you are interested 
in finding out whether or not your data conversion is html or xml.

A suggestion for you might be to write your transformations in such a way 
that every transformation produces either a full xml tree or an xml 
fragment.  Then keep this xml data persistant within your software, only 
producing the html as needed.  In addition, produce the HTML only as a 
mechanism of publishing rather than data manipulation.

Hope that helps,
bix
