Hello everyone, In reading through this thread and several others I have come to the realization that there is an obvious need for a place on the web that is particular to helping others either learn the art of technical writing (including those in whom English is not their native language and as such have difficulty finding the right words to express a technical term or topic) or simply learning about a new technology by writing about it. In discussing this with other well known and respected members of the XSLT community it seems that the idea of having a "practice wiki" in which those interested in utilizing this learning method can do so freely with the inherent disclaimer: "The content on this site should not be considered correct or even complete, but rather open for comment from community members who are interested in helping to promote and further extend and propagate quality and accurate content while at the same time helping to hone the skills of those desirous to become better authors/writers/coders for the XSLT Domain Specific Language Specifications. " This is the exact disclaimer in which I just posted on what is exactly as I just described and can be found at: http://practice.xsltwiki.com Again, I am more than happy to extend full hosting support of this site as I truly believe it can become a fantastic resource for those who want to extend their knowledge and or writing skills and do so with the understanding that this, for the moment, is simply practice, and: Practice makes perfect! :D I hope that any of you who find interest in this will make the absolute most of it as I have no doubt this can be a fantastic learning tool for both readers and writers alike as the viewpoints from both the reader and the writer can be expressed in ways such that both can gain benefit, communicating through the entire process with constructive critique, and as such both sides walking away with more knowledge and better skills than when they walked in. At least thats the idea anyway :) Best regards and best of luck! <M:D/> On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 12:24:29 -0000, Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > As to why the compiler doesn't complain on this construction: > > > > <xsl:choose> > > <xsl:if test="count(news_post) < 3"> > > > > which the compiler should have thrown out: the only things allowed > > inside > > xsl:choose are xsl:when and xsl:otherwise. > > It's helpful in such cases to identify the processor in question.
