XML to XHTML via XSLT - revisited

I worked on the XSLT project again today. I am basically taking a dataset from a web service and putting it in a tabular format for display. I successfully applied the stylesheet enhancements today. That was a no-brainer. I had never worked with stylesheets in HTML before, so I did not realize just how easy it would be. The project that I am working on is, obviously, quite simple, but it is nice to do something different and learn something new for a change.

One thing that I definitely learned about XSLT today is that you should have well formed tags. In other words, every tag must have an end tag.

Wow! Working sure makes the day go by faster. I should do it more often!

XML to XHTML vis XSLT

Too many acronyms there. I started playing around with a new technology today. Welll, it is new to me, anyway. I am having to transform some data from a web service into HTML. I have only started working with XSLT. I am doing some very basic transformations which takes the data in the XML dataset and put it in a tabular format that is easily read by the viewer of the pagelet.

I downloaded the Unicorn XSLT Processor to do the transformations after I created my XSLT. It is command line driven, but it works well for what I am doing.

One thing that I need to do next is learn how to apply a style sheet (CSS) to the HTML as I do the transformation so that I can get the proper look that I want.
