RE: [xsl] stylesheet to writing to excel

[STEPHEN_R_FRIEDLAND at fleet dot com]

Actually, after searching for info for a while, I discovered it's pretty
straightforward. Excel will read csv, tab-separated, or html. Create a 
style sheet to output any of these will work. I chose to output tab-
separated through a servlet. The piece I was stuck on for a while was how to
output tabs and newlines. The following variables were what I needed.

<xsl:variable name="newline">
  <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="tab">
  <xsl:text>&#9;</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>

Separate each element with <xsl:value-of select="$tab"/> and end each row
with <xsl:value-of select="$newline"/>. If you are streaming it to a browser
you have to also set the content type.

HTH,

document), if possible can somebody tell me where i could find such 
information
