Re: Disappearing forward slash from files paths

[Ovidiu P. <ov...@ap...>]

Hi George,

Thanks for catching this, I've committed a fix in the repository. You  
can get the new version of xslt-process.el from here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/xslt-process/ 
xslt-process/lisp/xslt-process.el?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain

The fix involved calling 'urlize' on the value of the filename to be  
set to xslt-process-output-to-filename.

Please let me know if this fixes your problem.

Best regards,
Ovidiu
