Subject: [xsl] Re: Where's a basic "boiler-plate" xslt for <em>, <strong>, etc. in XML -> XHTML? From: Bill Powell <junk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 17:20:31 -0400 |
Steve - Wonderful! Thanks very much! This is just the sort of thing that can slip through the cracks; much appreciated. I went to the #xml channel on irc.freenode.net, and the only one who answered was having the same problem. I'm going to post this on my blog with as many searchable terms as I can think of, as well as a link to the archived thread. Thanks again!
