Bonjour Hussein,
as usual, thanks a lot for your accurate and useful answer. It works
like a charm!
Please allow me to give back my 0.02€. I've modified the test to
consider other bullet types like this:
<xsl:when test="starts-with(., '*') or starts-with(., '#') or
starts-with(., '•') or starts-with(., 'o') or starts-with(., '')">
Note that the last starts-with test seems to cover the "graphical"
bullet types too (at least with the few ones I've tested).
Thanks again, and get ready for my next question! (coming soon ;-))
