Warning/Caution paragraph |
Trying to load whitespace-pi.xml in firefox gives:
Error loading stylesheet: (null)
file:///.../learningxslt2/ch02/ws.xsl
Modifying the file to point to whitespace.xsl seems to give the intended results.

7th line of program listing wg.xsl |
'lu {font-size: 16pt}' should be 'ul {font-size: 16pt}'
Justification. The CSS Stylesheet uses HTML element selectors to style the resulting transformed document and there is no 'lu' tag in HTML.
Note from the Author or Editor:
This is correct. "lu" should be "ul" |

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct. Should be:
Example 4-3. An XML list of Canadian provinces |
