Now I am going back and actually learning XML... our main application is to insert XML directly into XHTML documents and use either CSS or XSLT (don't know enough to pick yet) to style them without resorting to javascript... Now my question what is a good/reasonable set of command line tools for working with/debugging/testing all this in such a way I do not need to rely on the browser... specifically what types (and specific ones if there is a preference) tools do I need and are there any recommended procedures for dealing with XML from the command line.... in the future we may want to also do Java parsing of XML but that seems to be well handled already in the JDK (1.6) API.... thanks in advance
