[oXygen-user] C++ XML Data Binding

[Wendell Piez]

Hi Olumide,

I'm no C++ programmer, but if it's as straightforward as plugging
values into boilerplate, this is simply done with XSLT.

What's not so simple is to avoid the temptation to do more. Entire
domain-specific languages have been implemented with XSLT used as a
"compiler".

Cheers,
Wendell
