Most of the XML transformation code relies on XSLT and JAXP. > I would like allow the use of Velocity to transform XML documents in a > general way.

So what I would like to be able to do is for each element that is > come across execute the corresponding #macro if it exists. So this <td>hello</td> would be converted to <td bgcolor="#fffff">hello</td> if the macro definition was applied? How would $value be used - could it be used for an element name or content or attribute name or content? Mmm I'll have to think further about that. Are we allowed to use XSLT to help solve this? :-) James _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
