Re: XSLT to TT

While I think it is technically possible, using the style sheet to create a TT file really isn't practical. You would be better off creating a TT and writing a script that would read the XML, applying it to the TT file. Using the XSLT sheet to create a TT file would be difficult to implement and prone to maintenance nightmares IMHO ;-)

Is there a particular reason why you want to use XSLT to create a TT file?

I didn't say that I want to use XSLT to create a TT file. I have existing XSL file and I like to convert it to a TT file. I like to work with TT rather than XSL file in the long term. So I am looking for some sort of help to make TT file from XSL file. --Artist	[reply] [d/l]

Sorry. I misread your original post. Since XSLT can be rather complex, my recommendation would be to do it by hand. Don't rely on a script that performs XSLT -> TT as they are radically different. Creating a generic script that would take an arbitrary XSLT style sheet and produce a TT template file that produces the same arbitrary output, would be very involved. Creating a script for specific XSLT style sheets that produce very similar output may be worth it if you have dozens or hundreds of style sheets to convert to TT. Jason L.
