Okay. So it seems I'm trying to do the wrong thing. What I really
want is to produce HTML, which falls under category 2 (mostly).
I was confused by the fact that in XSL I can say I want <HTML> and
<BODY> elements in the output (if one is using HTML flow control
objects). This sounded a lot like one could produce HTML, but it
seems to do something different, even though the document that pops
out after I do the xslj/jade thing looks a lot like an HTML document.
So, given that I use xslj/jade, is there a way for me to do the
XML->XML transformation thing? If not, is there any other software
which runs on Solaris which can do this?
