Hi all.im in need of some advice. What i want to do, is, make a html
representation of any xml file.I already have some xslt code to get me
started. What i will do is take any arbitrary xml file and generate some
standard html representation of it.The representation will comprise of
components (element names, text data, attributes and their values).This
shouldnt be too much of a problem. The tricky part is establishing a
standard format i could apply. For example, should i display the xml file as
one large table, or should i display each element name with <u> tags and
display its text below it??
The attributes will be no problem, im thinking of the following,
-----------------------------------------------------------
<b>attributeName</b>: attributeValue
----------------------------------------------------------
and for any element that has a text node as a child, i will do something
like,
--------------------------------------
<u>elementName</u>
textNodeValue.
--------------------------------------
But im thinking that there will be instances where elements will not have
text nodes as immediate children, but as descendants, for example,
<book>
<author>
<first_name>Joe</first_name>
<last_name>Bloggs</last_name>
</author>
</book>
Im just thinking of the best way to represent elements!Should i only print
element names that have a text node?if i do this than i would loose some
element names, i.e the elements that dont have text nodes, such as author
above.Can provide me with a little help for this problem?what do you reckon
is my best way to tackle this??
Many thanks for your help,
Best wishes,
-Kilo Juliet-
