I'm the author of patXMLRenderer (does the same as XML_Transformer, but was released about a year earlier), so I'm pretty familiar with the concept of the application. Try moving an element that is at the bottom of the document to the top... Or try building a TOC for a document. It's easy in XSLT, and a pain in the ass when working with XML_Transformer. I'm not saying that XML_Transformer is a Bad Thing [TM], but it's not the best tool for this taks, as it's based on a SAX parser. You will have to do a two-pass transformation and store contents that are needed in memory or on disk, similar to how LaTeX creates a TOC. Stephan
