Re: what about a working example as part of the hwoto

Hi James,

sorry about all that. Found that out yesterday. Unfortunately an error message 
can never point out that it may just be a stupid typo.

What I wonder is why the xsl files in the str.zip refer to the namespace using
   "xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/Strings"
(upper-case 'S' in strings). Probably to avoid clashes if the xsltprocessor has 
native implementations.
