Is it possible to grab sections of an xml document
<chapter1><title></title><para></para></chapter1> and randomize it with xslt?
Chapter 10 would be first, then 8 then another chapter in random order.
Yes, you could do that. I have a hack in the forthcoming OReilly book "XML
Hacks" that shows a simple way to randomize with xslt. Basically, insert a
string of random numbers into a node in the style sheet and index into it to
get the random numbers. Or you could pass in a different random string as a
global parameter each time you run the stylesheet.
Cheers,
