Re: Abstract types

Simply,

<xsl:template match="*">
  <dl>
    <dt><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></dt>
    <xsl:for-each select="@*">
      <dd> has attribute <xsl:value-of select="name()"/> = <xsl:value-of select="."/></dd>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </dl>
</xsl:template>

A question like this belongs to the xslt-list@lists.mulberrytech.com.  But
to be honest, something this basic would not be likely to get a rise.

Cheers,

Mike
