Re: [fpc-pascal] Re: XML pretty formatter
People, my problem was solved with the help of xsltproc in a Linux box where one our services is running, and it works really good. But it could be nice to have an Object Pascal version of the library, to be able to do the same without needing to use an external program. Leonardo M.

A project for a rainy day (oh boy, I'm screwed - it's winter here). :-) I'll make a note in my todo list, but realistically I will not be able to touch it for the next 12 months.

We have a near-complete DOM implementation in native object pascal, we have XPath in native pascal. It seems only natural to have XSLT native as well...

Re: [fpc-pascal] Re: XML pretty formatter
Thanks Seth and Graeme, the problem is the program must run on a remote server
that hasn't installed Tidy.pm, but fortunately it has xsltproc, so I'll try
Graeme's solution.
BTW, is there any Pascal source code out there to do this?.
