HI,

With the help of David Pawson (who gave me the right hint) I debugged the dsssl script that displays the SGML/XML document.

The following script displays a SGML/XML document showing its structure with indentation. In the next SGML/XML kit, I'll include it to display a SGML or XML document by default if no style sheet is associated to the document. Until then, here is the script. If you have the latest SGML/XML kit just include the following PI in your SGML/XML document.

[Note: see the February 1999 announcement for the SGML/XML kit.]

SGML:
<?stylesheet href="default.dsl" type="text/dsssl" media="screen">

XML:
<?xml-stylesheet href="default.dsl" type="text/dsssl" media="screen"?>

Note: I gave it the name "default.dsl" to this script, you may change it to the name you want.

If you have any suggestion to improve it, don't hesitate, make a post.
