Hi Wendell,
Thank you! And yes I'll work on that part a bit, first now,
I mean add some info: what is this, how to get it, and a list of ideas
and..... Of course, I am interested in your amendments.
It also amazes me how fast you can work things out in XSLT,
I really enjoy learning it, I like it because of its rigidity and yet
complete flexibility, and it also overthrows old concepts
like: what? a programming language with variables that
can't change once assigned a value? and then you try to fit
it into XSLT and the solution turns out to be logical and simple.
Well, sometimes it's difficult, too, and it's real nice to have a list
like this, with so many helpful experts.
Regards,
Anton Triest
so check back, I'll update this shortly (maybe I'll first get some sleep :)*
