XSL for Formatting OPML
Wednesday, July 21st, 2004I just wrote a simple XSL file that formats OPML files which contain lists of feeds/websites, like the ones you get when exporting feed listings from a feed reader. In particular, I wanted to be able to convert the OPML files created by FeedDemon to XHTML, and put them on this site.
Here it is, in case you want to have it:
<?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:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"
omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system=
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" />
<xsl:template match="/opml">
<html>
<head>
<title>
<xsl:apply-templates select="head/title" /> (OPML)
</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h1><xsl:apply-templates select="head/title" /></h1>
<ul class="opml">
<xsl:apply-templates select="body/outline" />
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="outline">
<li>
<a href="{@htmlUrl}"><xsl:value-of select="@text" /></a>
</li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It’s not much, but it’s a start, and it does what I want it to. Feel free to use and modify it.
