That's a set of stylesheets that do the job, and it works fine. I can give information about them if someone is interested since that's the base of db2lyx. BG

I think incremental XSLT processors are possible, but I've never seen one. This is not a big deal for small documents, but may be for large ones. If not that, then XML::SAX might be a good choice. Get a parser with XML::SAX::ParserFactory (or specify one explicitly), derive a package from XML::SAX::Base, override stuff appropriately. It's the same concept as XML::Parser, but better for reasons explained in XML::SAX::Intro. It is incremental, if that matters to you. (I've been playing around with this lately.
