RE: [xliff] Syntext and indentations

["Rodolfo M. Raya" <rmraya@maxprograms.com>]

Hi Bryan,

Yves cannot change the XSL stylesheets, they are provided by OASIS.

I suggested Yves to try XXE, a free XML editor that supports DocBook, and he
agreed. If it doesn't help, I'll  modify the pre-processor tool that
generates unified specification.

Regards,
Rodolfo
