It is possible to transform XML-described data to almost any media (HTML, WAP, PDF etc) by writing XSL scripts. (XML + XSL = target). It is more difficult to do it the other way around. PDF even very often disallows to do image/text copy/paste.	[reply]

You're way confused about what XML is. What is the actual problem you're attempting to solve? Maybe we can help at an earlier stage of problem solving. ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.	[reply]
