http://xml.apache.org/websrc/cvsweb.cgi/ is the web scv with a link to it so it should be possible to find the CVS URL from that (I think it is just like other xml projects except with module name xml-stylebook). The best way to learn about it is to just look at the examples. Two projects I know who have it are Avalon (http://java.apache.org/framework) and Cocoon (xml.apache.org/cocoon). Why is it undocumented ? Well I believe it was a proof of concept that grew out of hand ;) Cocoon2 is meant to replace it eventually - it hasn't got there yet but will get there in future ;) Cheers, Pete *------------------------------------------------------* | "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want | | to test a man's character, give him power." | | -Abraham Lincoln | *------------------------------------------------------*
