Hi Arun,
I havent found any standard XSL to convert to HTML/HDML/WML/CHTML! :-(
Just in case if you find them.... please forward them to me. Thanks in
advance.
I personally think that a single XSL for sinlge ML should suffice. Though I
am not a very good XSL author, I managed to write XSLs to write forms in
HTML/HDML from single XML file. But, I dont have XSLs which cover the
complete list of tags in HTML/HDML/CHTML
I am attaching a sample xml, to-html.xsl and to-hdml.xsl file with this
email. The to-hdml.xsl is a live example of bad xsl authoring. Because it
uses the <![CDATA[.................]]> tag. But couldnt help it since I dont
have a HDMLFormatter and HTMLFormatter puts the DOCTYPE declaration at the
top!! eeeks!!!
Hope the files help you. If you find anything incorrect/wrong(or just dont
like the template) please feel free to change the XSL. But, also give the
changes to me so that I will incorporate them ;-)
Note:- The XSL can only convert only process the following elements from
HTML.
1. form,
2. input type(only one submit per form. and cannot use cancel/clear input
types)
3. select... / option
4. checkbox
5. anchor
I know, one requires much more ... but one can only write to the Lowest
Common Denominator(LCD) to the various formats, in which the data must be
presented. Find workarounds if possible Or dont support them!!
Cheers,
Adam
