Re: [xsl] Analyze-string Regex to Match Content within Curly Braces

Weird Mike - looks plain ugly...
Logical, but weird <grin/>


Digressing: the odd thing is that our expectation that curly braces will only 
be used in matching pairs is a very recent notion. Go back to pre-computer 
typography, and vertical braces were often used singly. Traditionally, braces 
grouped things vertically, rather than enclosing things horizontally. It's a 
typographical device that we seem to have lost because of the limitations of 
our technology.
