Hi Tony, Probably we should change the subject line. I have Jeni Tennison's Beginning XSLT 2.0, but found Michael's 2.0 book easier to move around in. I also have the 2nd ed. of the Cookbook but see it more as a chance to peek at someone else's code than as a pattern study. However, I have incorporated several of his generalizations into my own code and found them really useful. It is definitely worth the read. C++ has some excellent patterns books. They help you to have a solution outline in your head when you are lost in the rough. I was trying to find the same sort of thing for XSLT. Thanks for your info.

At 72, it is just a bit harder to change one's tricks. ThatC"b,b"s why yesterday I asked the list for sources of XSLT design patterns. No sources, but got a misdirected affectionate note in French, though.
I haven't read "XSLT Cookbook, 2nd Edition" by Sal Mangano, but it covers XSLT 2.0 and gets good reviews on Amazon, at least. There's probably more than a few on this list who could give you an opinion either way. There's also Dave Pawson's XSL FAQ at http://dpawson.co.uk/xsl/index.html Regards,
