William, This is a shameless plug for my own book! I apoligize but it seems like it might be what you are looking for. It will be out in Nov/Dec: XSLT Cookbook. O'Reilly is the Publisher. But I should also add that Jeni's book is good also. -Sal ---- On Mon, 9 Sep 2002, Lopez, William (william.lopez@xxxxxxx) wrote: > Try Jeni's book, Beginning XSLT (it's more than a beginner's book) $26.50 > http://www.bookpool.com/.x/hrmeyrr7rm/ss/1?qs=Beginning+XSLT > > or > > G.
