    This is a C board, not a XML or HTML board. Try a search engine of your choice.

    If the LIb is coded in C doesn't mean that C programmers will know the syntax of your language is all I'm saying.

    I can understand the C code you posted, but I have no idea how to "translate" that into another language, dig?

    As far as I know you can't directly inject C code into XML or HTML. I could be wrong.

    xml is a markup language, meaning it doesn't have flow control, just formatting. If you want to make decisions, consider scripting it, for instance, using Javascript.

    And yeah, this isn't really an xml/javascript board.

    But xsl language does have flow control... and xsl file has xml structure and can be read by xml parser...

    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
