[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: How to add a variable/changeable hyperlink <a href=" htt

convert the xml to html.
Is there an equivalent way to translate

Is the <xsl:value-f select /> the same as <select-elements> tag?
Does MSXSL recognize templates?
