If you're a web author, you've probably already played with msxsl and seen some neat possibilities. One thing that prevents msxsl from being a being a valuable tool is the fact that it doesn't expand ENTITY references. It's my belief that anyone with a Java development environment could fix this in an hour (or less). Wouldn't it be handy to do something like this... jview msxml -d lots_of_entities.xml > temp.xml msxls -i temp.xml -s style.xsl -o final_output.html If anyone with VJ++ (or something like it) wants to do the web authoring community a favor, change the way msxml behaves to print the entity itself rather than the reference when it's run with the -d option. Very brief example... -ExternalDTD.xml- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE body SYSTEM "ExternalDTD.dtd" > <body> <greeting>This is a &foo; &bar; </greeting> </body> -EternalDTD.dtd- <!ELEMENT body (greeting)> <!ENTITY foo 'bar'> <!ENTITY big SYSTEM 'bar.xml'> <!ELEMENT greeting (#PCDATA) > -bar.xml- Hello World! Would anyone be willing to modify msxml to output... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE body SYSTEM "ExternalDTD.dtd" > <body> <greeting>This is a bar Hello World! </greeting> </body> ...instead of... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE body SYSTEM "ExternalDTD.dtd" > <body> <greeting>This is a &foo; &bar; </greeting> </body> ...which it does now? I've done my reading and researched this and I haven't found any set of tools that will take map (.xml, .xsl) -> .html Any help, thoughts or .class files would be greatly appreciated ;) -- Andrew Andrew Bunner President, Founder Mass Quantities, Inc.
