I think I was hoping that I could switch back and forth between two modes, one that would parse my XSL document, and another that would would allow me to insert HTML tags. Transformations are kind of a twisty concept! <grin/> Just a bit. How about, do the transform, load the output, then use psgml to validate that? Then tweak the stylesheet to get what you need? >I'm just getting started with XML, XSL, and PSGML. I would appreciate any pointers about where I should look next for what I'm trying to do. For xslt, Wrox books, Michael Kay. For psgml? Here? Lennart still leads the way for xml editing (MHO). I keep trying to better it, but can't.
