Subject: RE: [xsl] How to mark every 5th output record. From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 16:05:10 -0400 |
In retrospect it would have been a lot easier to do it in C++, especially since we have access to the source code of the application that exports the XML. The choice to use XSLT was chosen as a stress test to validate the XML schema and to prove to third parties that they could use XSLT to implement their own file converters. In other words: "If we can export to *that* format using XSLT, then our customers can export to any file format".
Regarding your defense of XSLT, I'm not trying to force xslt to do something it wasn't designed to do. I'm simply trying to find the path of least resistance to accomplish that last 0.05% to meet spec compliance.
Cheers, Wendell
