RE:  Re: XSL to ODF/OOXML
But you're trying to transform that HTML output again? That seems to be
your problem here - HTML isn't XML, so you can't use XSLT to do that.
However, since you are using an intermediary in the process (the HTML
document), you can do this. Transform the original file into HTML the
same way you're doing it now, but use <xsl:output method="xml"/>, and
store it in a temporary file or variable. When you need to output the
HTML report to the browser, run it through this stylesheet:

<stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <template match="@*|node()">
    <copy>
      <apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </copy>
  </template>
</stylesheet>

Since the root element of your XML document is <html>, the XSLT
processor will determine that it should use <xsl:output method="html"/>
in that stylesheet. Then, after you've decided what you want to do with
your HTML result, you can still transform the intermediate XML document
to any other format you'd like. (ODF, OOXML, etc)

I can't do method="xml" because I need the stylesheet to output html
because its an html report. Does this matter? If so, workaround?
