Praneeth PVSubject: Need help to convert XMl -> HTML
Author: Praneeth PV

Hi there,
Am new to xsl. I am trying to convert an xml to html. The structure of my xml looks like this.
<lines>
<line>
<A>+</A>
<B>BLUE</B>
<C>DATA1</C>
</line>
<line>
<A>+</A>
<B>PINK</B>
<C>DATA2</C>
</line>
</lines>

I want my html output to look like this:

+DATA1
+DATA2

The color mentioned in <B> indicates the bgcolor, it is valid till the next <B> is encountered.

As mentioned earlier, am very new to xsl. I guess my XPATH expressions are not correct. My output looks like this:

+
DATA1
+
DATA2

I want all <line> elements to end with a newline, and all children in a line element should be on the same line.

Please help me out.

Thanks

Hi Praneeth,
you need to give us more informations:
- which version of Stylus Studio are you using?
- which XSLT processor are you using?
- is the XSLT generating TEXT or HTML?
- could you post the fragment of the XSLT that generates the result you posted?

Thanks,
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Here is the information you asked for.
This is my xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lines>
<line>
<A>+</A>
<B>BLUE</B>
<C>DATA1</C>
</line>
<line>
<A>+</A>
<B>PINK</B>
<C>DATA2</C>
</line>
</lines>

This is the xsl I have written:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head><title>MyHTML</title></head>
<body>
<pre>
<xsl:for-each select="lines">
<xsl:for-each select="child::line">

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="A">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="B">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="C">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
<br></br>
</xsl:for-each>
</pre>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="A">
<xsl:value-of select="."></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="C">
<xsl:value-of select="."></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Now, if you notice, I haven't defined a template to handle <B>. But my output when i used XMLSpy 2004 Enterprise Edition is:
+BLUEDATA1+PINKDATA2

When i used IntelliJ's built-in XSLT processor, the same xsl on the same xml produced this output:
+
BLUE
DATA1

+
PINK
DATA2

I am not sure how 'BLUE' and 'PINK' are seen in the html output in the first place.
Please help me. I hope I have provided all information this time.

Thanks,
Praneeth

Hi Praneeth,
even if you didn't define a template for B, XSLT defines a default template that prints any text node (including the text nodes that makes up the indentation of the XSLT stylesheet itself).
I would suggest you to download a trial copy of Stylus Studio and use its debugger to see how a processor generates its output.

Hope this helps,
Alberto
