[xsl] Re: How Can I Reference previous XML in Subsequent Iterations?

["Chris M." <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a quick update on this.

The solutions that Abel and David gave me hit the sweet spot. I was  
able to hack up my stylesheets to parse the XML dump and twist the  
styles into the new markup. It is still fairly primitive, but I have  
a very good base going forward. My biggest concern was performance,  
and the performance of this is very good indeed. Some of these  
spreadsheets are *BIG*.

I did need to use a couple of PHP callouts. Since it is a wiki, I  
wanted the spreadsheet authors to be able to embed wiki in their  
spreadsheets, and that requires one callout. Also, I wasn't that  
happy with the date formatting in XPath, so I use PHP's date()  
formatter to display TimeDate values.

I'd like to thank the members for their invaluable help on this.
