Thanks. I understand how this would be hard to implement. For what it's worth, I would think a feature like this would only support displaying a read-only version of the document. Maybe this would make it slightly less challenging? My interest in this goes back to a post I made awhile ago about how in CSS to "hide" all content except particular inline elements. I've got a somewhat decent solution implemented, but it would be truly elegant with XSLT support.

Four reasons for that: * CSS is much simpler to learn and use than XSLT. * In our opinion, CSS is sufficiently expressive to style XML documents. * In our opinion, being truly WYSIWYG (i.e. with the printed form) does not make much sense nowadays. * We, XMLmind software engineers, are not smart enough to implement this feature efficiently. --- PS: This feature is supported by our competitors from Syntext Serna http://www.syntext.com/products/serna/ where an XSLT stylesheet may be used to create XSL-FO objects that represent the XML nodes being edited http://docs.syntext.com/developers_guide/xsl-stylesheet-development.html
