I definitely prefer using the concat() function than a sequence of
alternating <xsl:text> and <xsl:value-of>.
concat() is more or less the equivalent of prinf() in C or
string.format() in C#. We don't have control characters like \n or \t,
but this can easily be circumvented by using either variables (in XSLT
1.0) or character-maps in XSLT 2.0.
=================
*Even better*, one can use a separate "fill-in the blanks" XML
document in which only specific elements need to be transformed into
result values.
This is a good technique which completely separates presentation from
processing and allows that different "layouts" be filled-in by
different transformations or the results of the same transformation be
presented in different layouts.
I believe this is probably one of the most important piece of
knowledge that I have shared with our fellows XSLT developers in the
course of many years.
Dmitri,
I could only partly understand what you're describing. Have you written
an article on it somewhere that you could link to? with examples?
Thanks,
Lars

Lars,
I will find time during the next days to post a simple example.
