I am very interested in using XSLT primarily for replacing the various template systems which I have tried out: - Template part of PHPLIB (http://phplib.netuse.de/documentation/documentation-4.php3) - Fast Template (http://www.thewebmasters.net/php/FastTemplate.phtml) Using XML and XSLT I can send the content raw to XML/XSLT savvy browsers like IE 5.0, transform it to HTML for the usual browsers or to WML for WAP handys. I could also syndicate my XML content with other sites by transforming it with XSLT to RSS for example. Because of XSLT's flexibility and usefulness I hope that Steven Liu's Sablotron extension module makes it to the CVS tree soon although it doesn't yet support the output buffering hooks Andi mentioned. It would be a good start and it already works fine! Regards, Stefan
