--- David Carlisle wrote: > PS > I don't agree with the subject line:-) David is completely right. The willingness (of the person who started this thread) to face a problem is not sufficient even to understand it -- some reading and knowledge will not hurt. Side effects can be controlled -- e.g. read about monads and the implementation of the Monad class in Haskell. Although XSLT does not have explicit support for monads, something can be done. In the FXSL Calculator I'm closely following the definition of the monadic "then", "bind" and "return" operators. As a result, a completely controlled, side-effects-free interactive dialog with a user is implemented in XSLT using an extension function in a controlled manner. I share the concerns about the recent quality of this list -- we need react to ignorance. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
