Re: XML Parsing in a "mixed content" file

recreate the content in HTML format

Is that a static html file or dynamically with a script (like cgi) ?

Update - Are you looking for something as simple as this ?

#!perl
use strict;
use HTML::Entities;
 
open OUT,'>', 'template.html' or die "$!";
print OUT '<html><body><pre>';
while (<DATA>){
  print OUT encode_entities($_);
}
print OUT '</pre></html>';

__DATA__
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<workbook>
  <worksheet name="[% config.template %]"><format color="black">
[% FOREACH host IN hosts %]
    <row><bold><format color="white" size="14" bg_color="blue"><cell w
+idth="60" text="Configuring de : [% host.name %]" /></format></bold><
+/row>
    <row />
[% FOREACH int IN host.interfaces %]
    <row><cell text="interface ip-bundle [% int.bundle %].[% int.subBu
+ndle %]" /></row>
[% FOREACH ip IN int.secondaries %]
    <row><cell text=" ip address [% ip.ipAddress %] [% ip.subnetMask %
+] [% bits(ip.ipAddress,ip.subnetMask) %] secondary" /></row>
[% END %]
    <row><cell text="!"/></row>
[% END %]
    <row />
    <row><bold><format color="white" size="14" bg_color="blue"><cell t
+ext="END OF : [% host.name %]" /></format></bold></row>
   <row /><row /><row />
[% END %]
  </format>
  </worksheet>
</workbook>

Hello poj, this would be static. I have built different templates and I want to display them in an elegant manner through a web page. What you suggested is nice, but what I really wanted to do (mostly) was extract content from "cell.text" ( and some other tags ) + the TT instructions and reformat the whole as an HTML document and apply some format. And I'm really thinking it would be easier to just write a regex for the purpose and recreate an HTML document from capture groups.	[reply]
