Re:  Should XSLT be used to generate a plain text  docu
Hi, Chris,

Like Jim Neff, my experience with producing text has not been to produce 
ASCII art but it has involved turning a complex hierarchal structure into 
a flat file. (Jim's message caught my eye because I have a substantial EDI 
background, though I am currently working on single-source document 
production solutions instead.)

What you have in mind is definitely within XSLT's scope and not all that 
hard to do.

Come back to us with your more specific questions when they arise, and I'm 
sure you'll get substantial help with your project.

 Should XSLT be used to generate a plain text document?






Hi, i would like to create some (i guess you would call it) styled, or
formatted plain text.

Eg, some information about a music album: (this probably wont display
correctly, but you get the idea)
