RE: FW: case insensitive transformation

[rlipi <rl...@centrum.cz>]

Hi Oleg,

I'm sorry but it's not as easy for me as you think. I know what XML is
and what XSLT does. But I have only general ideas. I don't know how to
write such XSL transformation. I have found only how to transform
content of elements but I haven't found how to transform element and
attribute names.

Could you help, please?

Lipi
