I'm totally new to xsl. I'm using VS2008 and I was looking for any beginner tutorials to get me up and running using xsl? Is VS2008 an environment to develop xsl? Any tutorial that would show a complete newbie how to use xsl with an xml document in VS2008
and how to display the generated html would be great.
Thanks for the link to the xsl transform debug article. I went thru that example and see how the xsl transforms into another xml document transforming the nodes into attributes.
Being that was literally the first example I have done with xsl, I'm trying to understand how I can see the xsl transform into html, how would that be acccomplished? So, I would like to take the xsl and transform it into html and view the html thru the
VS2008 internal web browser. Is this possible?
XSLT 1.0 has three output methods: xml, html, text.
If you want to transform XML to HTML then make sure your stylesheet creates HTML result elements. If you create a complete HTML docment meaning the root element of your result is named 'html' in no namespace then the output method defaults to html and you
don't have to set it explicitly. Otherwise, if you only create a HTML fragment, you have to set
<xsl:output method="html"/>
explicitly in your stylesheet.
That is about all that XSLT 1.0 has to offer, the rest is left to you meaning is it up to you to ensure that the stylesheet outputs meaningful HTML.
