Hello, Is XSLT capable of transforming an XML file modeling [only] the schema of a web site into to an actual HTML web hierarchy? i.e. Can XSLT transform the following XML <site_Schema> <a> <b>http://url1</b> <c>http://url2</c> <d>http://url3</d> </a> <e> <f>http://url4</f> </e> <g> <h>http://url5</h> <i>http://url6</i> </g> </site_Schema> into the following web site where XML element names correspond to link labels (edges or <a href's> in the web hierarchy). 1 / | \ a / | e \ g / | \ 2 3 4 / | \ | / \ b / |c \d |f /h \i / | | | | | | | | | | | u1 u2 u3 u4 u5 u6 (apologies for the ill-formed ascii site-map) If possible, I surmise that this task entails using XSLT to perfrom a depth-first search of the XML input graph and creating a new HTML file (and adding an <a href> to it for each child) every time a child is encountered. Is XSLT capable of creating multiple output files and manipulating and switching between them while processing? which this task seems to require. If possible, do you recommend I take the XSLT approach or use a technology like PHP or JSP? Many Thanks, Saverio Perugini XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
