How to change the output extension when transforming with a stylesheet

Hi,
Is anybody using this feature?
I've setup an XSL to convert the ToDoList into the
todo.txt format. This is so that I can sync the transformed file to my phone to use with
SimpleTask.
The only problem is that the file extension is .html, and there seems to be no way to change that. Any ideas?

It should be as simple as adding the following at the top of your stylesheet just below the '
<xsl:stylesheet ...>' line:
Code: Select all
<xsl:output media-type="text/txt"/>
Let me know how it goes...

Hi abstr,
I found a different way by accident which works.
This is specifically for the "Automatically export after saving" feature.
Select the "HTML format" option - set the stylesheet, then select "Other Format" - Plain Text. The stylesheet is used and the file extension is .txt.
I'm sure that this is not intentional behavior but it works.

Nevertheless, I suggest you use the offered solution, because inevitably I will find and fix the faulty behaviour and then your workflow will break.
