Subject: Re: [xsl] Translating XSD into an XSLT, experts approach needed From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2004 10:30:33 GMT |
If anyone could spare a few minutes briefly documenting how they would approach translating the XSD below (or even general approaches to translation), I would be very grateful. It's hard to answer that as a schema (xsd, relax ng or more likely dtd format) is just about the last piece of information I would use when writing a stylesheet to transform a set of XML documents to XHTML. At most I may use it to generate a list of element names to check that every element had at least one template defined. It depends a bit on what kind of presentation you are hoping to produce (your message gave no clues there). Do you want essentially a pretty printed display of the XML tree structure, annotated by the typing info from the schema (If this is what you want then, then obviously the schema would be a good place to start) or do you want to produce a normal human-oriented html document that presents the information to a human reader. In this case the schema is virtually useless, many elements that have a completely different semantic (and hence require completely different presentations) will have the same content model (eg PCDATA/xsd:string).
