| xmler | Hi |
| xmler | How can I do <a href="$variable">blah</a> in XSLT? |
| rindolf | xmler: you can use <xsl:attribute> |
| rindolf | xmler: or use ${...} |
| rindolf | xmler: have you read the Zvon XSLT tutorial? |
| xmler | rindolf: I've read various resources; perhaps it's the fault of XML::XSLT on CPAN |
| rindolf | xmler: use XML::LibXSLT instead. |
| rindolf | It's faster and better. |
| Zuu | <insert mean statement about XSLT> |
| Zuu | :) |
| rindolf | "XSLT is the work of Satan" |
| rindolf | "It's the worst thing since non-sliced bread." |
| Zuu | Hahaha :D |
| rindolf | "Mothers used to tell their children about XSLT to scare them." |
| xmler | Haha |
| Zuu | That last one is good |
| xmler | XSLT seems pretty cool |
| Zuu | xmler, no no, that's not mean |
| Zuu | you're doing it wrong |
| Zuu | :P |
| xmler | XSLT is too cool to be mean to :p |
| Zuu | Hehe |
| rindolf | "XSLT is the number one cause of programmers' suicides since Visual Basic 1.0" |
| tommy_the-dragon | lol |
| Zuu | :> |
| Zuu | I could believe in that |
| rindolf | "The X in XSLT stands for eXtermination." |
| rindolf | "XSLT makes the baby jesus cry." |
| rindolf | "The only things worse than XSLT are Excel and sugarless tea." |
| tommy_the-dragon | rofl |
| * Zuu | kinda likes Excel |
| rindolf | Zuu: yes, it was a joke. |
| Zuu | Noooh! |
| Zuu | they are all true! |
| rindolf | Now I'm out of ideas. |
| Zuu | i haven’t even had a single idea yet.. |
| rindolf | "XSLT is what Chuck Norris has nightmares of." |
| Zuu | Whoah! |
| Zuu | wait.. that would somehow make XSLT cooler than Chuck Norris... |
| Zuu | Chuck Norris don't have mightmares |
| rindolf | "Confucius e says: 'XSLT made me realise humanity was hopeless." |
| Zuu | "Even APL wont make friends with XSLT" |
| Zuu | yay, i maded one! |
| rindolf | "God considered using XSLT as the tenth plague of Egypt, but thought it was too evil." |
| rindolf | Zuu: :-) |
| Zuu | Haha :D |
| Zuu | that plague one is awesome |
| rindolf | "In Soviet Russia, XSLT codes you. Badly!" |
| rindolf | "Satan condemned Hitler for a million years of writing XSLT" |
| rindolf | OK, back to work. |
| rindolf | C - not XSLT. |
| Zuu | :) |
| rindolf | "The KGB used to torture their victims by having them look at scrolling XSLT code" |
| xmler | rindolf: lol, love the KGB + XSLT one |
| xmler | rindolf: by the way, what's with the XSLT hate by the way, is it some kind of meme? :p |
| * Zuu | gives xmler an XSLT interpreter written in XSLT |
| Jck_true | I wanna make ASM code from XSLT |
| rindolf | "My name is Inigo Montoya. You forced my father to write XSLT. Prepare to die! And be thankful I don't force you to write XSLT." |
| xmler | Ah for gawd's sake. Can't install XML::LibXML, it says I don't have libxml2 (I do) |
| rindolf | xmler: do you have the -devel package? |
| rindolf | xmler: what is your distro? |
| rindolf | OS distro I mean. |
| xmler | rindolf: Debian 4.0 |
| xmler | Ooh, perhaps I don't actually |
| rindolf | xmler: OK, then apt-get install libxml-libxslt-perl |
| * Zuu | have to go o/ |
| rindolf | xmler: maybe we should discuss it on #perl? |
| rindolf | Zuu: bye |
| rindolf | Zuu: and beware of stray XSLT code. |
| Zuu | I will :P |
| rindolf | Zuu: OK. |
| xmler | rindolf: sure, uno memento :) |
