Re: [xsl] Transforming XML to XML

[Rick Taylor <taylor@xxxxxxxx>]

You can simply remove the processing instruction for the stylesheet and 
allow the browser's (IE or newer Netscape) default stylesheet to handle 
it.  Alternatively, check out the following template for converting xml to 
html string representations: http://www.xmlportfolio.com/xml-to-string/.
