Hi Everyone,
I am relatively new to XSL, have some trouble adjusting to the paradigm
and am unsure of the quality of my approach and code. I know this is a
broad and general question and I don't expect any response, but if
anyone has time and is willing to take a look I would appreciate it.
The links in this message are not trying to sell anything - this is just
something I'm using to replace bookmarks, since I tend to work on a
number of machines. Also, anyone is welcome to copy the code anywhere -
it's mostly scraps collected off the Internet anyway. Any additional
links, other enhancements or general feedback would also be appreciated,
but it might be better to collect those off-list.
I am using http://jpw3.com/links.xsl to transform
http://jpw3.com/links.xml. This basically takes a list of nodes such as
the following:
<section name="SUBJECT">
<links>
<link name="TEXT" href="URL">
<link name="TEXT" href="URL" />
</link>
<link name="TEXT" href="URL" />
</links>
</section>
And creates an HTML table with nested lists. I am wondering if my XSL
takes the "best" approach, or what alternatives I should consider,
especially as I would like to make the following enhancements:
-Dynamically determine the number of columns based on the number of
sections
-Group sections in rows by the number of links they contain such that
cells have the most consistent height
-Process multiple XML files
-Another XSL that formats more like http://jpw3.com/search.html
-CSS positioning
Thanks and regards,
-John
