Thanks, I'm investigating XSL and it looks pretty good. We use an RPM based installation of PHP version 5.0.4. I see on PHP.net's website that XSL comes standard with PHP 5 and you need to enable it by adding the argument --with-xsl to the configure line. How do I do this when we did not build PHP from source? Is there another way to get XSL activated?

XSL can display the contents using a <xsl:copy-of select="node"/> bear in mind tho that it also copies the node name. example: <node>copied stuff<br/></node> copying only the inner content can be achieved by doing a select="." however you'll need to have the current node be the one that you want copied. this can be done by using a <xsl:for-each select="node"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:for-each> If anyone else knows of a better way _please_ let me know :) When working with XML and going to HTML ..
