Hi,
I am curious to know if the output of xslt can be anything other than an xml.
We want to provide an xml as input to an xslt node but we want a custom formatted text output made from the values of input xml tags.
Pls advise if that is possible.
thanks.

XLST can output HTML, and other things.
It must always start with XML.
It's going to be easier to use MRM and produce a CWF or TDS model of your custom formatted text output than it will be to write an XSLT.

| XSLT can do what you need. That's why the output domain of an XMLT node is 'BLOB' rather than one of the XML domains. |

I understand the output parser can be anything like BLOB / XML, etc.
I know an output xml can be parsed using BLOB, and vice-versa.
But if I give an xml input to xslt can I get an output that looks like:
/TEXT
/START
some data from a tag in input xml
/END
Thanks.

Yes, you can use XSLT to do that.
It's not clear that using XSLT is a good way to do that, in message broker.
