Hi Charles,
Your description is very light on details and of a general nature, so in a
general way, yes, it makes sense.
OK, to provide you with a bit more info...
I have a long html file (see http://hq.tvw.net/template.html) that includes a
mass of merge codes from an old program.
The merge codes are encompassed in « » delimiters.
The source data is in the format already described (see
http://hq.tvw.net/sourcedata.xml for the full file - note it includes quite a
few irrelevant answers that are ignored (e.g. 1. Restriction & Conditions))
Rather than write my own mail merge engine or use a 3rd party product someone
has suggested that I can do the same sort of thing using XSL.
I am therefore considering creating an XSL template to recreate the html file
but replacing the old merge codes with XSL logic.
OK, there is a little bit more than that, but it should give you a better idea
of what I am trying to do.
