Exercises for Lecture 3

XSLT

1. Create a different stylesheet for the recipes. Change the XHTML markup to obtain a different look.
2. Create a new stylesheet for the recipes that only shows the title of each recipe.
3. Create a stylesheet (producing XHTML) for your own XML version of the weblog.
4. Use the file transform.php to make the above transformations dynamically.
   Hint: Create an empty file "myresult.xml" before you start the transformation.

Tips

• To perform XSLT transformations, use Explorer or Mozilla (as described here), or use the Xalan command-line tool:

   java -classpath xalan.jar:xercesImpl.jar:xml-apis.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
  

  (on Windows, replace ":" by ";".)
