XSLT stylesheets and <description> format

Hello Peter, Hugo, all--

As I mentioned (not very clearly, maybe) in a previous email, my XSLT 
stylesheets for picfolio (blue_peach and chocolate_cream so far) work 
correctly with both formats for the description of a directory or an 
image in a directory: Hugo's picfolio-metadata editor format:

<description>
  This is a description of a directory or an image.
</description>

and Peter's suggested format:

<description>
  <para>
    This is a description of a directory or an image.
  </para>
</description>

The change was actually very simple. I just changed the XSLT 
stylesheets, in the place where the description is formatted into one 
or more paragraphs (into the <p> element of (x)html), so that the 
"node()" expression is used, which selects ANY child nodes of a 
<description> element regardless of whether those nodes are simply 
text (as the picfolio-metadata editor currently produces) or are 
elements themselves (like the <para> element that Peter suggests in 
the user's manual). The XSLT stylesheets will now format each child 
node of a <description> element, regardless of what TYPE of node it 
is, into a separate paragraph in the final XHTML output.

Whenever I make a change to one of the styles I create for picfolio, I 
will keep the name and location (the URL) the same of course, in 
order for current links to continue to work.

I was working on a new style, starting with the same stylesheets, 
until "real life" intervened. Will get back to it soon I think.

Best wishes,
