Lab #5 - XSLT Processing

CS 183 - Hypermedia and the Web

The goal of this laboratory assignment is to exercise knowledge of XPath path expressions and XSLT stylesheets by creating a functional stylesheet. So long as you have followed the setup for lab #1, no additional setup is necessary for this lab assignment.

The assignment is very similar to the sax parsing assignment in lab #1. That is:

1. Using use this XML file as input, create an XSLT stylesheet that, after execution, creates an HTML file that contains an html table with each row corresponding an album record in the xml. The table should have five columns organized as follows:

• artist name
• album name
• genres(2) - one in each column *
• number of used items

These can be found in the XML elements and attributes:

• ProductInfo (root element)
• Details (element for each album record)
• ProductName, Artists/Artist, BrowseList/BrowseName
• UsedCount

The output should have the following attributes. Where the output format is unspecified, it can be in any reasonable format.

• artist names should be bold, in a sans-serif font
• album titles should be in italics
