XML to XML

Hi,

I have one XML file like below. I put only one node for Document below. I want to use XSL to display the XML as it is. Means I want to display the XML as HTML such that on the browser it looks like XML.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Documents>
<Count> 20 </Count>
<Document>
   <DocNo> 123 </DocNo>
   <DocType> Application </DocType>
  </Document>
</Document>
</Documents>

Output HTML should show the data similar to that of XML as shown above. Is there any generic XSL to get that result.

First attempt:

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html><head><title>Raw Data</title></head></html>
    <body>
      <textarea rows="40" cols="60">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </textarea>
    </body>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">

    <xsl:copy>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The document you gave as an example is not xml as you have one extra [code]</document>[code] tag.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply. Is there any other way to get the output without <textarea> html element. I want to display it on html page.

If I remove the <textarea> it's displaying the simple text.

Thanks in advance,
Satya

This might work but then you lose the identation.

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html><head><title>Raw Data</title></head></html>
    <body>
      <xmp>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xmp>
    </body>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">

    <xsl:copy>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

What's wrong with the one IE normally uses? It's at URL res://msxml3.dll/defaultss.xsl or for a more modern one in XSLT http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-lis.../msg00769.html. You'll need to remove a stray semi-colon on line 12. For an examination of this problem further try
