Re: [xsl] Is XSLT the right tool for XML to SGML conversions

Yes it is a reasonable approach and should be fairly easy (depending on
what your SGML output.  If the data structures are the same converting you
may only be required to add a DOCTYPE statement and make empty elements
SGML compliant (i.e., <br/> to <br></br>.

If you have to build a document declaration subset (for graphic entities)
you can build this with XSLT and include it as a pipeline step.  If you
don't need to build a document declaration subset should be able to use
XSLT for the whole process.

Hi All,



I am at the preliminary stage of looking at a project. The input will be
authored in XML, but the output will be SGML. Is XSLT (version 2.0) a
reasonable language for doing this? Any pointers to examples, best
practices, etc., would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
