It's not about that - it's about separating content from presentation. Imagine having a single XSL stylesheet applying to your whole site... > If you are just trying this as academic project or on some server where the > load is not important, it seems ok.

Sorry for the "preaching" part - I was tired of bouncing from site to site only to find out I can use Java, Java or Java (and a bit of Perl or Python) and got angry there wasn't any php-based solution to this. But Andy gave me new hope - but hey, Manuel - maybe you're up to porting some perl or c stuff concerning XSL in PHP? I'd be glad to hear : "YES" :-) Cheers, Lukasz
