Re: [xsl] Diagramming XSLT

["CyberSpace Industries 2000 Inc." <csi2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know that Ken Holman has some intereesting diagrams in his texts and 
training material on XSLT.  His diagramming conventions show how an output 
node tree can be formed from both the xml input tree of nodes and the node 
tree representing the templates in the XSLT stylesheet.

Check with http://www.cranesoftwrights.com


Short of this - I also have been musing on creating an animation showing a 
similar thing to explain how the XSLT processor works.   So far I haven't 
found an animation tool that lets me create such an animation easilty. 
[Suggestions?]

Cheers..Hugh
