Thanks for the mention. ;) I do agree that XSLT isn't something to be taken too lightly. OTOH someone else's reply on this thread suggested that a stylesheet could take months of work. That sounds excessive to me. The original poster's (John L. Thoms) message, trimmed version below, actually didn't specify *XSLT* stylesheets, or whether he was looking primarily to style or to transform his contractor's documents, and I wondered if he could make do with CSS. Browser support (or otherwise) aside, I'd think styling it with CSS would be a lot simpler than undertaking some kind of large-scale transformation project. >-----Original Message----- >From: Thom, John L.
