Exercise 2.
Part 5 of this tutorial explained the following stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="collection">
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h2>
<xsl:value-of select="head"/>
</h2>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Change this stylesheet in such the way that collection.xml can be transformed into the following HTML file:
| Browser view | HTML source code |
Letter collection of the University of Leiden
From Sijthoff, Albertus Willem to Hensbroek, Pieter Andreas Martin Boele van |
<h2 align="center">Letter collection of the University of Leiden</h2> <p> <b>From Sijthoff, Albertus Willem to Hensbroek, Pieter Andreas Martin Boele van</b><br> Feldafing<br/> 1910<br/> <i>SYT A 1910</i><br/> </p> |
Notice that the line mentioned the author and the recipient is given in bold and that the shelfmark (from the element <callnumber>) is printed in italics. These formatting instructions can be given by using the HTML elements <b> (bold) and <i> (italic). Using the XSLT elements that have been discussed up and until part 6, only the first letter can be shown.
Part 7 of this tutorial explains why this is the case and how this situation can be improved.
