hello everybody, I am a beginner at XML.....just started working on it a couple of months back. I am in the process of preparing web-based documentation using XML and related tools. I'm sure i'll be posting a lot of doubts on this mailing list, most of which will be really fundamental and basic stuff so please bear with me :) Today I have a couple of doubts and I was hoping somebody will be able to help me. 1.) I need to start my document with a table of contents. Is is possible to generate a TOC using XSL in such a way that it consists two cols, the name of the topic in one col and the page no in the other (as in any TOC). However i want the topic names to be hyperlinked so that if someone were to click on the topic he/she should be led to the relevant portion of the document. 2.) I want to wrap my text around an accompanying image. The way i am thinking of doing that is by defining a 3 row/ 3 col HTML table. The first cell of the first row spans 3 cols. The first cell of the second row spans 1 col and the 2nd cell spans 2 cols. The first cell of the 3rd row spans 3 cols so it is similar to the first cell of the first row. Thus what I will have is text that continues to flow from (row cell1) to (row 2 cell2) and then onto (row 3 cell1) with the image in (row2) cell1. I guess what I want to know is whether it is possible to "split" an XML element (using XSL) in such a way that part of its contents are displayed in a particular way and the other part of it in another way (or location, in this case text from the same element is supposed to be split among rows1,2 & 3). I hope somebody will be able to guide me.
