What I really want is to produce HTML, which falls under category 2 (mostly). I was confused by the fact that in XSL I can say I want <HTML> and <BODY> elements in the output (if one is using HTML flow control objects). This sounded a lot like one could produce HTML, but it seems to do something different, even though the document that pops out after I do the xslj/jade thing looks a lot like an HTML document. So, given that I use xslj/jade, is there a way for me to do the XML->XML transformation thing? If not, is there any other software which runs on Solaris which can do this? kai -- You ate somebody? -- Just a leg. -- That's terrible! -- Not with mustard.
