Hi All,
I have my xml file as below.

XML

<XML>
    <DIV>
        <Title>
            <A ID="pgfId-1104972"/>
            A. N. AIYAR’S	
        </Title>
    </DIV>
    <DIV>
        <Title>
            <A ID="pgfId-1104984"/>
            A. N. AIYAR’S
        </Title>
    </DIV>
</XML>

Both the title tags contains text A. N. AIYAR'S. But I need to display them in different font sizes based on their attribute values ID=pgfId-1104984 & pgfId-1104972.
Is it possible?

Hello Rahulaaditya,

I strongly suggest to consult any basic XSLT tutorial or book (since you did ask in the last few weeks some very basic questions on XML, HTML, CSS, XSLT).
E.g. http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/[^] is a valuable source for getting answers on HTML, XML, XSLT, XPATH, et.al.

It seems to me that you try to swollow a chunk that is a bit too big for your current knowledge.

E.g. what you need to know for this is the following XSLT constructs:
- xsl:apply-template (for the title nodes)
- xsl:choice (to decide on the ID node on what font to apply)

If you are not familiar with how to apply a font in HTML or CSS, also consult w3schools for that.

Cheers
Andi

Dear Andi,

I tried it all way but could not find a better solution for my query. Could you please help me out from this?.

1) Let's start with the font settings: show in HTML or CSS how you want it to be. Write a simple HTML/CSS that sets the font of some text. Show the resulting HTML text here.
2) Once you have that, write a small XSLT file that does some processing on all Title elements (e.g. make text red) of the XML file in your original post (xsl:apply-template...). Show the result here.
3) Finally enhance the XSLT with a xsl:choice construct apply red text for one of the IDs and green for the others. Show the results here.

Now, instead of red and green, set the different fonts accordingly (as you found out in item 1 obove on how to do it in HTML/CSS).

If you want to do anything reasonable yourself in XSLT, these pieces above are the very basics you need to master *yourself*. Did w3schools didn't help in sorting the things out?

Cheers
Andi
