Re: Creating HTML from an XML and XSLT

Following is an example to generate HTML output using XSLT on your input xml
docuemnt.
In the following xslt, I'm writing the orgdate attribute of the salesRep
node into a Date row in a table in the output.
The idea is to have your html tags interspersed with xslt. As far as xslt
code goes, you can have the top level amtch expression match salesRep node
as in
<xsl:template match="salesRep">
 and write out the xpath for the attribute /child nodes underneath it as
shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:template match="salesRep">
    <html>
    <body>
      <table border="1">
        <tr>
          <td>
            <xsl:value-of select="'Date'"/>
          </td>
          <td>
            <xsl:value-of select="@orgdate"/>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

hope this helps,
swapna
