Thanks for the info. I'll have to experiment further.

Trevor:

VisualXSL was designed to make templates that can be used to process a single or a batch of documents. It is well matched to our VDPMill product which can split huge incoming XML files, spread them across a grid of RenderX engines and format them, putting them back together as one huge print stream (if desired).

Consequently, a "document" to VisualXSL is the single or repeating child node of the root node. A typical XML used for VisualXSL would look like:

<batch>
                <invoice>...</invoice>
                <invoice>...</invoice>
                                ...
</batch>

In your case, you can just surround the <installguide> with another node like <document> or something. It's certainly fine to have only one document in the design or the processing, but this also gives the opportunity to have 100 or 1000 or 10,000 documents in a batch.

Subject: [xep-support] VisualXSL question

I recently downloaded VisualXSL as a trial and was running through some testing. What I'm noticing is that it appears to only load the first node of my xml. So in my case I am dealing with some custom xml. The basic structure is shown below. When I load the xml into VisualXSL I'm only seeing the first node <front>. Is this a limitation of the trial version?

<installguide>
                <front>
                                <title/>
                                <graphic/>
                </front>
                <section>
                                ....
                </section>
                ...
</installguide>
