Actually, XSL is a natural fit for C++ devs IMHO. It's both functional (so easy for template meta-programmers), and procedural (so easy for imperative language programmers). Just read and invest time with the XPath and XSLT books from Dr Kay, and you're good to go :) Preferably 2.0 (this made me notice there's a new 3.0 just out !) I think learning XPath/XSLT made me a better programmer even, broadening my CompSci horizons. Completely OT and FWIW, but I just couldn't resist. :) --DD [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Howard_Kay
