Output Documents

  • This HTML file was output by my Timetable XSLT stylesheet
  • This PDF file was created using FOP, using the XSL-FO output by my NFL Standings XSLT stylesheet

Info

The assignment required me to develop several XSLT stylesheets and run them on multiple XML documents. The stylesheets:

  • Transformed class timetable XML data from my DTD to lecturer’s DTD, and vice-versa
  • Produced NFL Standings for week 10 by adding the results of week 10 (provided by lecturer) to my week 9 standings (& then repeated for week 11)
  • Converted my class timetables to XHTML (for web) & the NFL Standings to PDF (for print, via FOP)
