XML to HTML 1

[dforce13]

I have a xml file and want to convert it to a HTML file.
Can someone tell me what kind of components I can use for this and where I can find a manual on how to use these components ?

well, XML is in fact an evolution of HTML, what are trying to achieve exactly?

I want to convert this xml file to a viewable html file.

 

[whosrdaddy]

just open the file with IE?

in delphi:

put a TWebbrowser component on a form
and navigate to the xml file

If you want to intelligently transform the XML file into HTML (i.e. not just rely on a browser interpreting and rendering the file correctly), it would be worth you looking at XSLT (

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/default.asp)

in more detail as it can be used for any text-based transformations. It gives you the ability to powerfully filter and style your XML file to give the desired HTML output.
