Re: [xsl] Is XSLT the right tool for XML to SGML conversions

["Betty Harvey harvey@xxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes it is a reasonable approach and should be fairly easy (depending on
what your SGML output.  If the data structures are the same converting you
may only be required to add a DOCTYPE statement and make empty elements
SGML compliant (i.e., <br/> to <br></br>.

If you have to build a document declaration subset (for graphic entities)
you can build this with XSLT and include it as a pipeline step.  If you
don't need to build a document declaration subset should be able to use
XSLT for the whole process.
