 As Jay and David have said, XSLT is hindered in generating this kind of thing by the rules of XML syntax, which this format doesn't follow -- but doesn't InDesign have an "XML import" feature you could use to get around having to create this? Short of a "pure Perl" approach, sometimes special output formats can be handled gracefully in XSLT by designing an XML logical view and then customizing a serializer or post-processor to generate the syntax. (This is similar to what Mike suggested for the fancy-plain-text application asked after in another thread.) But that's more than I'd usually be willing to take on ... partly because it requires a complete spec of the target syntax to do it right.

I think d-o-e is about your only hope for that problem. ====================================================================== Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ======================================================================
