Here is the complete scenario: urpmi libxslt-proc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] xmlTest]$ xsltproc trans.xsl test.xml [EMAIL PROTECTED] xmlTest]$ It should work regardless of the position of the fax element (or rename it as necessary). > Help, I have my web limited by my company now, so I can't google till > tomorrow.
