Ryan ShafferSubject: New to XML/XSL need help with output
Author: Ryan Shaffer

I just started learning XML and am trying to create a KML file for use in Google Earth from an existing XML file. When using the Stylus trial, I am able to output to a file with no problems.

I'd like to be able to launch the XML, apply the transformation in the browser and automatically launch Google Earth. Here is my stylesheet element:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" media-type="application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

I've tried in both IE7 and Firefox, but no luck. Can anyone give me a suggestion?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hy Ryan,
have you already tried adding an <?xml-stylesheet processing instruction to the XML file?

Alberto,

Thank you for the response. Being new to XML/XSL I am not familar with adding a processing instruction. I quickly looked and do not understand what it actually does.

What I am struggling to understand is how I can take an XML document and transform it into another XML-based file type, such as KML. If I have Google Earth installed and click on a hyperlink to a KML file, it automatically launches the application to view the file. When I transform my XML to KML, I can't get it to do that.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,
you can convert an XML into a KML almost automatically by using the xml-stylesheet processing instruction, but that will only work *inside* a web browser; in order to have Google Earth started you need to actually double click on a .kml file, so you cannot automate the entire production and execution phases.

Hope this helps,
Alberto
