Hi Larry, I looked at the Sources.js for the current handlers and I did not find any handler that suits my needs. Can you help me?
@Jon - Jon I am not familiar with XSLT. I went through few XSLT tutorials but I was not able to figure out how to construct an XSLT stylesheet to turn my data into XML. Any help?
