Generating pretty-printed HTML can be difficult, if not impossible, with most processors. You can try using the following output element: <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/> but implementations are not required to honor the indent attribute, and there's no definition of that output in the spec. The best method would be to run the HTML output through Tidy or another pretty-print utility after transformation. If you want comments to show up in your *output*, you need to use <xsl:comment/>, which will cause the contents of the element to appear in the result document within HTML comment tags (<!-- -->). Since these also represent comment nodes in XML, using them directly in your stylesheet causes the processor to strip them out during compilation. hth, b. | brian martinez brian.martinez@xxxxxxxxxxx | | lead gui programmer 303.357.3548 | | cheap tickets, part of trip network fax 303.357.3380 | | 6560 greenwood plaza blvd., suite 400 englewood, co 80111 | | cendant travel distribution services http://www.cheaptickets.com/ | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
