You can do the same with your report writer. THANK YOU I don't think anyone in any of the many messages I've read or the books I've bought has explained the point of the XSL translation quite so clearly. I *knew* there was a (stupidly obvious) step I was missing. I think the thing that confused me is that the generated XML from the XSL processor will inherently be marked up for rendering and no longer just structured content, correct? (ie: glorified HTML). I kept concentrating on XML as remaining free from rendering-oriented content, so could not see how the gap was closed other than in the final renderer, like our product. Mind you, it still may be vastly easier and more efficient for us to skip this intermediate step as an XML rendition and keep our intermediate version purely in-memory as a set of c++ formatting objects, applied to a database.
