<para id="p1">
<subtitle>Today is my youngest sister's Birthday</subtitle>
<body>
I called my sister today to wish her a happy birthday.
She said that my older sister meant no harm in sending the card
that she did last year, but she expressed concern that
I might not take it as the joke she intended.

<para>
<body>
I need to see if a para without a subtitle still works. It does,
sort of. Since I don't have explicit paragraph tags in HTML it
just concatinates it to the last paragraph That was easily fixed by adding
a template to put the HTML tags around para/body.

<para id="p2">
<subtitle>Need to add links to the XML document</subtitle>
<body>
I am still wanting to have some kind of links within an XML document
that pass through XST to a useful HTML representation. I may have
found what I need in the "XML Bible" by Harold. But first, I
need to learn templates and filtering with template attributes
to get there.

<para id="p3">
<subtitle>The style for this rendition of the XML</subtitle>
<body>
I was able to do farily sophistocated formatting in a few commands
including setting colors, font sizes, style, and fully justify the
text of the paragraphs. I was able to set the background color to
pink, the font color to navy, quite pretty, really, and set right
and left margins and font sizes for the XML elements.

<para id="p4">
<subtitle>I got links to work</subtitle>
<body>
The simple anchored links supported by HTML can be driven off the XLT
style sheet. I have done simple static links, not the kind I could
make from XML elements, but the syntax form for the simple links does
work. I have seen the example in the text book I have, but it did not
work on my system. So, I tried the static links and did get them to
work, both external and internal. I have a link from the bottom of
the page generated by this XML to the top of the page, an internal
link. It should work. ... It doess. So now the task is to get the
TOC and the links to it to work. I'd like to take the subtitle, if it
exists and put it in two places, make a TOC entry as the link target,
and make the named link from the subtitle, itself. Like I have in
orginary HTML.
