RE: [xliff] Syntext and indentations

["Schnabel, Bryan S" <bryan.s.schnabel@tektronix.com>]

Hi Rodolfo,

Sounds good. Thanks for the solution.

But I'll still (for my own curiosity) experiment. If the XSLT solution is not viable because of the OASIS stylesheet limitation, there's nothing to stop me from adding a doctype subset (ah, one of the reasons I love XML, it has universal rules).

Just for fun, I'll report my results.

- Bryan

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
