Hi all,
I am trying to embed a style sheet into an XML document. I am using IE5
running MSXML3 in replace mode. I have originally tried an example from the
Wrox Professional XML book which doesnt work. In addition to this I also
tried the skeleton example
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/xsl-list/2000-07/msg01048.html before I posted
my oroginal post yesterday, but again this didnt seem to work, all I got was
the default tree listing of the XML document.
Oleg Tkachenko kindly suggested the following
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="#newsStylesheet" type="text/xsl" media="screen"?>
<root>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" id="newsStylesheet"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample of an Embeded Stylesheet</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>NEWS</p>
<xsl:for-each select="news/day">
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="date"/>
<br/>
<b>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</b>
<br/>
<xsl:value-of select="text"/>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:stylesheet>
<news>
<day>
<date>30 October 2001</date>
<title>Embedded Stylesheet Example</title>
<text>The following text is displayed using an embedded stylesheet</text>
</day>
</news>
</root>
This worked to some degree, however when I place the <xsl:value-of select>
tags in seperate (and correctly nested) <p></p> tags, the data gets
displayed as one line, and the <b></b> gets ignored so does <i></i> and
linebreaks <br />. !!!!!!!
Oleg kindly suggested in using <xsl:output indent="yes"/> however I still
get the same result!
Can anyone offer me some advice or assistance regarding this matter?
thanks in advance
sean
