Didier,

I have an example of an XSLT stylesheet that converts an XML document
into a plain ascii text file. The XML document is not the same as yours,
but it's fairly simple.

Here's the XML document:

Hi,

Can you explain how with just a simple example. Let's say the XML document
is:

<document>
<title>
 This is the title
</title>
<par>
One upon a time...
</par
</document>

How would you transform this XML document above into a plain asci text? Can
you show it with a XSL script?

regards

Malliks,

XSLT can do this.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xslt

There are several free XSL processors available.
For example, James Clark's XT (http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt.html).
