waiting with transforming some XML

[Michael Birkmose]

Hi everyone!

I am new to XSL and I was wondering if the following is possible:

XML

<document title="Hello World">
<menu>
<menuitem>Test</menuitem>
</menu>
<Some_tags....>
</document>

This should be transformed to (using XSL):

HTML
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
<body>
<Transformation of the some_tags element>
<Transformation of the menu element and its subelements> </body> </head> </html>

What I want to do is to transform the <some_tags> element before the <menu>. Moving the <menu> and the <some_tags> element around ind the xml is not an option

Best regards,
Michael

yes, the answer is it's easy and it's just the sort of thing XSL is meant for. This is completely untested but your stylesheet will look something like:

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title><xsl:value-of select="document/@title"/></title> <body> <xsl:apply-templates select="document/some-tags".> <xsl:apply-templates select="document/menu".> </body> </head> </html> </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="some-tags">
..
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="menu">
...
</xsl:template>
