problem creating xslt for sitemap xml 1

[janwane]

I am a beginner with XML. I just created a sitemap using the sample protocol on sitemaps.org. I spent 5 hours yesterday reading about and trying out examples to transform it with xslt with no success. I am at my wits end. Following is my (abbreviated) xml file. Can someone write me a simple xslt that successfully reads it? Thank you.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Sitemap.xslt"?>-->
<urlset xmlns="

http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

<url>
<loc>

What have you tried?! The question is: are you ready?

exclude-result-prefixes="sm"

<xslutput method="html" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/sm:urlset">
<xsl:for-each select="sm:url/sm:loc">
<a href="{.}"><xsl:value-of select="." /></a><br />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I cannot thank you enough! I tested your response and it works...and not only that but the href works. I had researched that too. I will study your code and try to learn from it. You saved me countless hours. Thank you again.
