Monday, 18 February 2002 at 10:39 Deara Joerg, thanks for your tips! I managed to get things done rather straightforward, using XML as the output format. klaus e. werner | vatidt04@xxxxxx From: Joerg Pietschmann <joerg.pietschmann@xxxxxx> To: XSL List <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [xsl] simple method for listing directory contents?
