Subject: RE: [xsl] Where's a basic "boiler-plate" xslt for <em>, <strong>, etc. in XML -> XHTML? From: "Scott Trenda" <Scott.Trenda@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:03:15 -0500 |
Bill - XSLT handles HTML output beautifully natively. I'm guessing that you'll want something like the following: (I'm not sure what all of your non-HTML tags are, so just take the pattern from the sect1 template:) <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html"/> <!-- This will handle any nodes we don't explicitly define templates for. It copies the source as-is, and xsl:output handles the HTML format. --> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <!-- sect1 means h1 --> <xsl:template match="sect1"> <h1> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </h1> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> And that's it. Basically, the XSLT processor knows how to handle the formatting differences between XML and HTML, so we use <xsl:output method="html"/> to put it into that mode. The first template is a basic "copy everything" template, and after that, just set up a series of templates to intercept nodes that need to be renamed or reformatted. Simple enough? ~_^ ~ Scott -----Original Message----- From: Bill Powell [mailto:junk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 3:50 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] Where's a basic "boiler-plate" xslt for <em>, <strong>, etc. in XML -> XHTML? Hi all, I've just gotten into XML and XSLT and I'm excited, but after a few tutorials and browsing around sample XSLT sites, I have a question: does anyone know of a simple XSLT anywhere that simply translates HTML tags in an XML file into XHTML? For instance, if an XML file includes: <sect1>Heading 1</sect1> <p>Some <strong>bold</strong> text. And <em>emphasized</em> text too.</p> <sect2>Heading 2</sect2> <p>More <em>emphasized</em> text.</p> Is there a simple XSLT out there that _just_ translates <sect1> and <sect2> into <h1> and <h2>, <p> into <p>, <em> into <em>, _no matter what node it's in?_ I'm thinking y'all might be laughing, but really it doesn't seem so simple to me. Yet. ;) I'd like to start using XML for my blog, and I'm excited about the nifty stuff I can do with categories and such, but first I need to be able to get the basic posts (tidied into XML) translating easily into HTML. This might sound a lot like DocBook; it is, I'm basically shooting for a very minimalist version of DocBook that won't take 10 minutes to regenerate my site (and a half hour to customize; for me, anyhow).
