Hello,
I would like to use XSL to transform some XML in my page, but I cannot determine where to store the XML data.

For example, I'd like to publish multiple content pages in an XML format so that the XSL template can publish each page with the same layout, but different text values depending on the XML. Where do I put the XML? If I add a multiple line text data type to the content page and put the XML in there, the XML displays in the page output and the XST engine misses it.

Thanks,
-Carter

Nevermind - after a few hours of experimenting, I figured out how to add parameters to the document type and use the in the XSLT. The documentation for this product is HORRIBLE! If you just had a single document that describes the workflow of the CMS engine, it would help tremendously. How is everyone else figuring this thing out? The Books section is nearly useless since the most promising articles are never completed, and the API is to complex to just jump into.
