[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: Re: XSL to ODF/OOXML
 Hmm... I don't think this approach will work here. I did try to just change the output to XML and everything seemed great. The problem of course is the html version of my site broke. I wish I could think of some XSL solution, whereby I could pass the transformation a variable which would change the context to XML. As ugly as it sounds, I almost think pattern matching / search and replacing my HTML to death to make it XML is way simpler. I could just strip errant tags out of it entirely. -Steve On 10/25/07, Scott Trenda <Scott.Trenda@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > But you're trying to transform that HTML output again?
