I now want to try to build it up so that the menus (bulleted lists) and
main page content are extracted from an XML file.

Do any of you have a set of XML/XSLT files that you could email me to
show examples of a reasonably complex site designs that I could look
at?
The following example is rather trivial, but once you fully understand how it works, you can handle the most complex XSLT.

consider this XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site title="New Company Website Design">
	<nav id="main">
		<link>About <anchor>Company</anchor></link>
		<link>Housing <anchor>opportunities</anchor></link>
		<link><anchor>Regeneration</anchor></link>
	</nav>
	<par>some text</par>
</site>


and this xsl:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>


<!-- output method is 'xml': 'html' will not produce valid (x)html -->
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"; indent="yes" />


<xsl:template match="site">
<!-- I moved the xhtml namspace declaration to the xsl:stylesheet element -->
<html lang="eng" xml:lang="eng">
<head>
<title><xsl:value-of select="@title"/></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/STYLES/basic.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="nav">
	<div id="{@id}menu">
		<ul>
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</ul>
	</div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="link">
	<li id="menu{position()}">
		<a href="#{anchor}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
	</li>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="par">
	<p>
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</p>
</xsl:template>

<!-- no template is defined for the 'anchor' elements; the deafult is text nodes only-->
</xsl:stylesheet>


It will produce this xhtml output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="eng" xml:lang="eng">
<head>
<title>New Company Website Design</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/STYLES/basic.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mainmenu">
<ul>
<li id="menu1">
<a href="#Company">About Company</a>
</li>
<li id="menu2">
<a href="#opportunities">Housing opportunities</a>
</li>
<li id="menu3">
<a href="#Regeneration">Regeneration</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>some text</p>
</body>
</html>
