Re: [xsl] to draw a table in xsl

[ac <ac@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vasu,

The key could be a nice extra, especially if the source became larger, 
which was not specified. 
I doubt that there would be a performance gain in this sample.
It does not seem to make the xslt xml referencing any clearer or simpler 
either, in this case.

Mostly, the requested output was:
Table
100
102
but your stylesheet gives
Table: 100 , 102 ,
which seems wrong.

Also, your output is in an incomplete, invalid, and unrenderable html file
while the request was just for output.

If it is to be in an html file, apart from required enclosing elements, 
there may also be a few other considerations, including how to generate 
the linefeeds instead of the commas.

If it is to be a text file rather, or an XML element or format of some 
kind, that would be different also.

All that was specified was output, with linefeeds, and xsl:message seems 
like the simplest way to do just that.

Cheers,
ac
