For every project if I can I use lxml to manage xml sources, because it includes xslt but not viceversa. The goal is to translate xml in tex in the quickest way, and let mkiv to do the hard word. I have not a good feeling with xslt, because is not so powerful as lxml, and clearly is not a competitor of TeX . If I need storage, dbxml is good, and XQuery+lxml is powerful enought . OO has also docbook exporter http://www.docbook.org/ docbook is rich and with a good collection of xsl stylesheets to translate xml to html but maybe is ...too much . -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
