- Reply-to: xsl-list at lists dot mulberrytech dot com
I have an well-formed html file that i need to do a transformation to. The
html file is pretty much finished, except for some elements I named
<whitespace/>
I am trying to run the html file through a transformation that will return
the html file with the <whitespace/> elements transformed to something
else. I included an example html file and my xsl file. I can invoke the
transformation, but the html file remains unchanged.
I think I must be close... can someone point out what I am doing wrong?
Thank you!!!
