It depends. If you need to do text parsing, XSLT 1.0 will make it very
hard for you because of its very limited standard text parsing
functions. So, if you want to do what you said in your original post,
color highlighting of programming code, you will end up spending weeks
of coding in XSLT 1.0, where in XSLT 2.0 it would (possibly) be a matter
of hours.
So, "good idea" really depends. If you like to code and spend much time to it, use XSLT 1.0, if not, and you rather use a tool that suits the job better, choose XSLT 2.0 (or anything else that would make color highlighting easier, there are many tools around that can do that readily). -- Abel Braaksma Mansour wrote: I don't know if this would be a good idea at this point.
