2012/4/17 Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Jirka, I think, is also on the mark: >> OP was probably upset by some badly designed XSLT code he had to cope with. Indeed. He wrote a follow-up to his first post (http://www.snoyman.com/blog/2012/04/xslt-rant-explained.html) where he explains that he had to find why a template was not producing the expected result, in a project involving 8000 lines of XSLT spread over 40 files. Someone had overwritten the specific template with a default template and it took him an hour to find it (although in the example he gives, rules of precedence should favor the specific template over the generic one?) > If there were as many well-meaning but overhasty self-taught hackers writing Haskell as XSLT His point is that XSLT makes it especially difficult to debug (bad) programs written by others. How would one best solve the problem he describes? Regards, EB
