Two titles by Wrox Press come to mind (probably because my wife did the technical review on both :-) ):
- XSLT Programmer's Reference (2nd Edition) - Beginning XSLT The first is a true reference, handy when you just need to lookup syntax. The second is one of the easiest to understand introductions to XSLT, especially so because it tackles various seeming idiocsyncrasies most programmers seem to have problems with. My favorite is: don't iterate, recurse! }-----Original Message----- }From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] }On Behalf Of Curtney Jacobs }Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 9:35 PM }To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] }Subject: Re: Modifying x2html.xsl does not change resulting xhtml } } }Greetings! } }Thanks Michiel, Barry for responding.
