Hi all,
we know that we can give a table like ordered appearance(without borders,
obviously)for an xml data when all the data is similar(i.e all the elements
and their child elements are similar in content --they all can be grouped
into a pattern) in text format(that can be seen in notepad) using XSL.
now, i have a complex XML file with a lot of different kinds of elements
and their corresponding child elements.
I have written a style sheet in XSL to html which will group all the
similar data in html tables. we have a lot of html tables like that.
Now , my question is --- is it possible to write a xsl style sheet to
produce that many html table like appearances(without borders-just a open
table look) in text format?This is just an investigation and i wanted to
know whether it is possible.
1) we have to use only XSLT. we cannot use XSL Formatting objects.
2) we know that <xsl:text> command can be used for small files where u can
get only one table. we use it inside template match ="/" etc. code. now, if
i have to produce some 10 to 20 tables like that in the same style sheet in
text format, what do i do?
can anyone enlighten me , whether it is possible in XSLT?
thanks and regards,
praveen
