Re: XSLT Extensions

[Gary L Peskin <ga...@firstech.com>]

Hi, Jason --

On number 1, can you send a copy of your code, XML, and XSLT to
xalan-dev (which is where Xalan questions belong)?  I'll play around
with it but I don't have too much time at the moment but I'll try.  Your
sample will save me some time in trying to recreate what you're trying
to do.

On number 2, is the String being returned from an extension function or
an extension element?  If from a function, is that being called from an
xsl:value-of element or how?  Additional details, please.

Thanks,
Gary
