Hi Henrik,

 ..short question: Since I dont know the solution of my problem, I
 also dont know, of what "parts" it consists. So my question is: What
 should I feed into Google: "Martin Fowler" and "XSLT"...sonds not
 very sufficient...

 Please give me a hint...thanks a lot in advance and sorry for getting
 stuck again... :)

 Ruby.use!
