OT for this list, but that's not the first time... This is a two-part question: 1) XSLT is certainly able to transform one set of XML tags into another (or even convert XML tags into some other flavour of markup). At that level, it can certainly do what you are asking. 2) The ability of XSLT *or any other* transduction processor to convert one data representation into another depends upon the underlying conceptual models of the two. For example, if the source schema conceives of a postal address as atomic (an unanalysable entity with no internal structure other than text) and the target schema conceives of a postal address as a number of distinct entities with particular logical relationships between them, then neither XSLT nor any other tool can convert the one into the other. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
