I published a case-study of something similar at an IDEAlliance conference in 2004 I think. Sadly IDEAlliance have removed all the proceedings of these conferences from the open web (which I am sure will make it much harder for them to attract speakers at future conferences), but I found a late draft of this paper and put it on my own site at http://www.saxonica.com/papers/ideadb-1.1/mhk-paper.xml Regards, Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ http://twitter.com/michaelhkay > -----Original Message----- > From: ycao5@scs.carleton.ca [mailto:ycao5@scs.carleton.ca] > Sent: 01 June 2009 22:09 > To: Michael Kay > Cc: xml-dev@lists.xml.org > Subject: RE: text to xml conversion > > > Hello Michael, > > Can you recommend some good tutorial on it?
