Morning all. I don't want this to go on for so long that you get bored
with it, but I thought you all, and especially Wendell, would like to know
that I awoke at 04:10 this morning to the sound of a very large penny
dropping onto what appeared to be an equally large landmine.
This is good to hear. The brain is an amazing thing. It's particularly nice
that you know exactly when you completed framing out your wetware XSLT
processor.
Now all you need to do is add a few details like XPath syntax, object type
casting rules and so forth, and you'll soon find yourself on the heights of
XSLT mastery.
Of course! To simply pass through all the content in the data file, all I
need is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
</xsl:stylesheet>
The recursive processing; the default templates; these will take care of
the rest.
I call this the "null stylesheet", and have gotten into the habit of
demonstrating it to beginner XSLTers so as to pose them with exactly the
puzzle you have just solved.
Thanks for letting us know you are finding XSL happiness.
Cheers,
Wendell
