True. At the moment for separation and simplicity I am keeping it a pure
CSS file.
Eventually, I think I will write a CSS.XML and write a stylesheet that
picks it up and converts it.
I guess I will have to manually paste the CSS into the XSL-HTML or use
an extension function for now (maybe MSXML 4 will make this easier).
Any other ideas to import the text from a .css file would be welcome. :)

Can't you just store the .css in an XML file?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<css>
<style>foo</style>
<style>bar</style>
</css>
and then add it to the <head> using <xsl:template
match="dacument('css.xml')/css/style">, or does it absolutely have to be
a
standalone .css file that gets included? If so, you could also write a
simple XSL that would generate the .css file, so you'd only have to
maintain
the data in css.xml.

Subject: [xsl] how to insert/include the text/data in a separate (but
local)
.css file into an HTML O/P using XSL
I am curious as to how I can add the .css material from a separate
.css
file into the HTML <HEAD></HEAD> .
Originally I was adding a <LINK> to an external css.
But I am thinking it would better to embed the CSS stuff into the
<STYLE>
<!--
....X.....
-->
</STYLE>
of the output HTML.
Now in the place of X I would like to simply enter the entire material
from the .CSS file using XSL/XML.
Reason why I need to do this:
1. Independent CSS file that can be independently edited and modified
(inserted into the O/P on the fly)
2. Embedding the CSS stuff instead of linking to an external file will
allow us to e-mail the outputs out to people without having to worry
about multiple files or linking to an external .CSS
I tried and <xsl:include> and <xsl:import> don't work.
I read some stuff about using XML include but I am not really sure how
I
can do this to "GET" external text file.
Better ways of doing this ?
Suggestions please ?
