RE: xsl for parsing strange xml

This stylesheet shows the essential parts.  You can adapt it to produce
the HTML that you want.  I have assumed that your xml is contained in a
"root" element.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output encoding='iso-8859-1'/>

<xsl:variable name='types' 
	select='/root/member[contains(@name,"T:")]'/>
	
<xsl:variable name='methods' 
	select='/root/member[contains(@name,"M:")]'/>

<xsl:template match="/root">
<results>
	<xsl:apply-templates select='$types' mode='type'/>
</results>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match='member' mode='type'>
	<xsl:variable name='type-name'
select='substring-after(@name,"T:")'/>
	<!-- Display type-specific information here -->

	<xsl:variable name='method-name'
select='concat("M:",$type-name,".")'/>	
	<xsl:apply-templates 
                select='$methods[contains(@name,$method-name)]'
mode='method'/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match='member' mode='method'>
	<!-- Display method-specific information here -->	
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
