I am doing a redesign for the squeaknet website which may become the next one for the site, I am trying to use XML to store the content. PHP uses the XML with an XSL Stylesheet to transform the XML into the XHTML of the rest of the site. The transformed XML is simply a fragment of the XHTML as there are some other dynamically created PHP features in the remaining part of the resulting document and I dont want to effect the portability of the content itself.
I have an XML document like this one (I havent yet put the dtd online, but the file is valid)
and I have an XSL file like this one
The problem is I just cant get the attribute information to be displayed and none of the matching templates seem to be being applied, when I run the transformation I simply get the XML document as is but with all the tag elements converted to whitespace.
Anyone got any ideas on what is going wrong with the transformation
