Greetings,

I am not a programmer, so when I encounter the type of problem that I will expose, I am ever so grateful 

I have a report per machine and the report can only be saved in XML.

I would like to now convert the report in whatever, HTML, DOC, PDF, spreadsheet etc. The issue is that I need to be able to exploit it.

I have posted the report on my site:

http://www.cisware.co.uk/xmlproblem it’s only 20 K

Anybody could give me a tool to just convert this thing? I am fluent in English/French….

Best wishes,
Jimmy

Hi Jimmi,

A simple stylesheet as below will give you HTML:

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="NewDataSet">
<html>
<table border="1">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Table[1]" mode="header"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Table"/>
</table>
<table border="1">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Table1[1]" mode="header"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Table1"/>
</table>
<table border="1">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Table2[1]" mode="header"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Table2"/>
</table>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Table|Table1|Table2" mode="header">
<tr><xsl:apply-templates mode="header"/></tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="header">
<th><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></th>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Table|Table1|Table2">
<tr><xsl:apply-templates/></tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Best Regards,
George

Hey George

Thanks a million for stepping in!

I have saved the code as a .xml file. thanks again. Is there a way of automaticaly convert XML + your style sheet to HTML?

Have a good week indeed!

Hi Jimmy,

You should save that as XSL. Then you can use oXygen to transform your XML data with this stylesheet. The simplest thing is to have your XML and the styelsheet open, change to the XSLT Debugger perspective and use the Run to end action to get the output. Otherwise it is also quite simple to set up a transformation scenario in oXygen to do this processing. Also if you check the documentation for your preferred XSLT processor you will find how to do that from command line.

Best Regards,
George

Tell me what you think, when time permits.

Did that with oXygen, but would prefer a command line version so that I can prepare a batch...

Hi George,

Thanks to you who invested time to help me out. What I have done is a cocktail. Using an XSL stylesheet and xslt2.exe, I have now a well formed HTML file.

Next thing, I am now installing Ubuntu 5.10 in order to try FO.

Best wishes and keep up the good jib,
Jimmy
