[Nicexsl-help] RE: Problem with niceXSL

[Willink, E. <Ed....@th...>]

Hi Markus

The XSL2NIceXSL script was originally intended as just an
assistance prior to major manual tidying up. For version 2.0,
I improved it so that it now handles all XSLT that I have tried.
Tidying up is now more a matter of aesthetic taste than necessity.

I don't use text nodes much, so you've found a bug. The reverse
engineering of text nodes, forces use of ", rather than the most
convenient of " or ', with escaping for the other, and then gets lost.

I'll fix this in the next release.

You could workaround it by changing your XSLT to use &apos.

More realistically; just mend the NiceXSL by hand

	other := 'num="REPLACE_INPUTFORM_num_END"'

you should get eqivalently functional XSLT generated.

	Regards
