RE: [xsl] Splitting file into N-sized chunks

["Chris Cosentino (ccosenti)" <ccosenti@xxxxxxxxx>]

PHP has a bunch of XML parsers. SimpleXML is a good one:
http://us3.php.net/simplexml

But, how can you ensure that the XHTML will be valid in 300k chunks?
It's possible that an element could contain greater than 300k of text.
If that's the case, you can't have both valid XHTML and a 300k file.

If you know that element <h2> will always contain less than 300k, then
you can do a redirect-write (or result-document) for that element and
all of the <h2> contained content will be in a separate file.

Just curious. What spec are you outputting to? IDPF .epub? I've never
heard of a 300k limit (I've only been working with newer devices though)
