RE: XSLT Recursive Templates

Hi,
Since XSLT doesn't have a replace function, most programmers 
tend to use recursive template to perform the replace task.

This templates have been proven to really slow down applications.

For example when formatting text to include paragraphs, we 
found the better option to be:


Better that what, pray? I find it very hard to imagine any recursive
template that a rational person would write to produce the same trivial
output as your code below.

.textFormat {
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%;
      font-family: Arial, sans serif;
      font-size: 8pt;
      background-color:
      transparent; color: #000000;
      border: 0px;
      overflow: visible;
}

As oppose to using a recursive template.

Use them as a last result.
