Re: XSLT on Wikipedia

well there's this but it doesn't apply
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/03/03/sgmlwiki.html
there are a number of other ones but basically what you will run into
with the wiki to xml tools that I know, is that they don't expect the
wiki markup to be within XML markup already.

Maybe should use FXSL  to do embedded Wiki to Xml!
