Hi Folks,

An XSLT template rule follows a pattern-action paradigm: when an XML item
matches this pattern do this action.

XSLT modes allow you to effectively create multiple XSLT programs within one
stylesheet.

Flex is a lexical analyzer tool, i.e., a tool that enables you to tokenize
input data.

Flex also follows a pattern-action paradigm: when the input string matches
this pattern do this action.

Flex start-conditions allow you to effectively create multiple lexers within
one program.

Interesting parallel between XSLT and Flex!
