Hi Sean,

I think you may have misunderstood - I wanted to (and indeed managed to,
after much blood, sweat and tears) create the SVG programatically. To be
honest, I've had enough of Visio to last me several lifetimes, and from
the results of my last couple of days coding it seems that I can "draw"
much better by typing than by dragging things around with a mouse. My
XSLT example creates the website map (URL above)without the need to ever
look at a vector application.

I was merely pointing out that I hadn't found any other examples of this
(website maps created programatically from XML), which I found a bit
strange as I'd imagine there's plenty of people out there building
websites who have the XML/SVG knowledge to do this.

Dan
