I'm attempting to put together an XML format for posting/migrating blog data, and while I'm in the design phase, I came across an interesting question.
What's the best way to take HTML that may or may not be valid, and nest it in an XML document, while still keeping the XML valid?
I'm trying to make it so that the data can be migrated between all manner of blogging apps (LJ, diaryland, self-hosted ones like Wordpress, Pivot, B2Evolution), and most of them have their own unique quirks that break valid XML (some, for instance, use <p> instead of <p />) if just dropped in there.
Is there some "comment" element, or other way of flagging chunks of data that shouldn't be explicitly validated?
Should I just leave it up to the software processing the data to replace all "keyword" type characters (<> etc) with their HTML equivalents? < &rt; etc... The problem with this approach, is that there are a ton of these, and I don't want to place undo stress on those writing the software to deal with this format.
Any ideas on valid ways to tell an XML parser "this is valid, just ignore it", or simpler ways to store unvalidated HTML in a valid XML doc, or in general just ideas as to what approach I should take?
Oh, if you want to follow the progress of the format,

Much appreciated.

(Apparently Greener in XML than I thought... never used CDATA)
Looked it up... Yeah, that's absolutely perfect, thanks!
Damn you, online references, for making me feel leeter than I was!

can anyone tell me about xalan:nodeset and xalan:tokenize?
what is functionality of the following statement in .xsl
<xsl:value-of select="//state[@name=$state]/policies[xalan:tokenize(@clients, ',') = $client]/@URI"/>
Thanks

This[^] was the first hit from google, and it confirmed what I thought. Tokenise will split @clients into an array of strings, every time it finds a ,. Then I assume that it will match when one of those values is the same as $client

how can i implement a similar functionality in c#, so that my function will perform the same task of xalan:tokenize?
And in xml how does an array of values get matched with a single value?

Google[^] has a heap of info on C# XSLT extensions
It would return a nodeset, so any values that match will be returned.

Hi All!
I use XmlSerializer to serialize object and got the following:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-16\"?>
<MyClass xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns=\"http://www.MyFirma.biz/MyNamespace\">
<Positions>
<Position>
</Position>
...
</Positions>
</MyClass>
Is it possible to get rid of the overhead (namespace info, schema info, xml version)? Anyway I do not need this info since parsing will be done without XmlSerializer.
So I need that output looks like below:
<MyClass>
<Positions>
<Position>
</Position>
...
</Positions>
</MyClass>
Thanks!

How can i insert a .gif image in my XSLT document, so it can be seen in the output (html)?
|
|
|
|
|
If it's html, then it needs to be an img tag, so the gif file needs to be external to the output.

You'd probably be better off asking a question like this in the XML / XSL forum. 
Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..."

A document in xslt language tells to an xslt prosessor how we want an xml document to be transformed. The output can be xml too.
The xslt documents are xml files, but restricted to the xslt schema.
At my article http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/CXML.asp[^] i use xslt in the IIS/aspx.

Hi friend,
I am developing a web application and using XML files to store data.
I want to display data of an xml file using XML stylesheet. I found tutorials regarding this but everywhere the extension of xml stylesheet is XSL. and in .net I found that file with .XSLT file.
I used that file but when I tried to view XML file in the browser it gives error that any html key word like "HTML","BODY","H1" may not be used here.
What does it mean?
Can any one tell me how to use xmlstylesheet to display xml file on browser other than the typical way?
thank u all in advance.

You can use the .xsl extension if that's what the browser reqires.

I have a XML file:
<CARO_BOARD row=10 col=10>
<CHESS x=1 y=1 sign="X"/>
<CHESS x=1 y=2 sign="0"/>
<CHESS x=3 y=1 sign="X"/>
<CHESS x=4 y=4 sign="0"/>
</CARO_BOARD>
I want to use XSLT to show this file as table(rows=10 and cols=10) and the value in cell(1,1) is 'X',the value in cell(1,2) is '0'...Others cell is NULL.
Please tell me a solution.
Thanks.

Hope this sample XSL file will work for you.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<table border="2" rows="10" cols="10">
<xsl:for-each select="CARO_BOARD/CHESS">
<xsl:variable name="test_x" select="@x" />
<xsl:variable name="test_y" select="@y" />
<tr>
<xsl:if test="$test_x =1 and $test_y=1" >
<td><xsl:value-of select="@sign"/></td>
<td>NULL</td>
</xsl:if>
</tr>
<tr>
<xsl:if test="$test_x =1 and $test_y=2" >
<td>NULL</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="@sign"/></td>
</xsl:if>
</tr>
<xsl:comment>You can include more if statements </xsl:comment>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
