[vsingr]

Friends, Is it possible to generate a XML file using XSLT? If so can
Some one point me in the right direction as to how this can be
achieved?

Thanks

I haven't worked with XSLT in a while, but my understanding is that it
can produce any String output given a XML file as an input.

This tutorial gives an example of transforming an XML file into another
XML file: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_languages.asp

I just saw your other post which is older, and yet much clearer on the
requirements. XSLT, as far as I know, needs XML as input. If you don't have
an XML file to start with, you can't use XSLT.

Bascially, you can have XSLT generate anything. But you have to start
with an XML input. This may be transformed into another XML file.

Note that the method attribute can be "xml".
