Subject: [xsl] A Question **TO** XSLT Newbies
(...)
I would be very interested to receive reactions of XSLT newbies to
something I am exploring as a way to help newcomers to XSLT
to be able to
help themselves in solving XSLT programming tasks. I know
many newcomers to
mailing lists much prefer simply to lurk, so replies on or
off list are
equally welcome.
When I start with xsl I used the namespace 'http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl'. I
didn't know then that this wasn't xslt. I was reading 'Professional ASP XML'
and that was the namespace used there. So I try some examples start doing
some pages of my one.
I got very confused when I subscribe to this list and everybody start saying
that this wasn't xslt but an older draft. I kept reading and start using
xslt and trying to solve some problems that appear now and then on the list
and compared them with others post here.
I didn't find xslt or xpath very difficult (but I still get my head spinning
when I see Dimistre's xpath examples :)). Normally I break long xpath
statements using variables to keep them more readable and understandable.
