I am pretty impressed with Norm's work but my needs are different for my ToC's. The software I am using XSLT for/ with is capable of importing xml and working with the tags and attributes for formatting. and cross referencing. (Xyenterprise, Xml Professional Publisher ) As documents can be edited a lot I think a safer approach would be to generate the ToC at the moment it is getting published. > If you want to generate an XML TOC, you could still model > your stylesheet using his methods but outputing > XML elements instead. So far so good, I still have a lot to learn about XSLT but now I have the toc generation going for a bit (and have done some other transormations) I can see the power of it. I will probably be looking through Norms work a lot and I can also see that it will be a long way before I can get close to his level.
