I have xml file as mentioned below. I want to use xsl to display it in text format. I want to present xml data in table in text format. Is that possible?

Yes ... use method="text" and all of the text nodes of the result tree are serialized into the result, with the element markup suppressed.

XML file

I want to display it in text format like that.

I appreciate your help

I hope the example below helps ... it is using XSLT 2.0 ... if you need to use XSLT 1.0, change:

   <xsl:value-of select="'  ',@name,'  ',@result,'  ',@comment"/>

to:

   <xsl:value-of select="concat('   ',@name,'   ',@result,'   ',@comment)"/>

<testcase name="test001" result="failed" comment="test failed"/>

</test>

T:\ftemp>type rasha.xsl
