[EP-tech] Re: import plugins supported by 3.2.8

Thanks Tim and Denis.I guess I could use xsltproc for debugging my xslt but looking for something more windows based here as the transformation will actually be done in windows environment.

Moreover the editors are good for making recommendations for tags and applying conditions, hand crafting can be bit hard!

Thanks
Ranju.
