Question: opml -> html

Anyone know a quick and simple way to convert opml files into html? I've found two good XSLT stylesheets, but the W3C XSLT Service seems to be fudging the links.

Is this a quirk of the W3C XSLT Service or a problem with the stylesheets? Have you tried linking the XSLT as a stylesheet from the OPML document and loading it in IE6 or a recent Mozilla, both of which do client-side XSLT transformation?

Good question. I'm not extremely familiar with XSLT, so I'll brush up. I'll also try IE6 and Mozilla.

Ishmael, do you use PHP or ASP? It might lead to wider use if you used a XSL parser to parse the file using that stylesheet.

In PHP you can use the following:

<?php
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

$opml = xslt_create();
$result = xslt_process($opml, 'opml.xml', 'opml2html.xsl');
echo $result;
xslt_free($opml);
?>

Or just put this line right after the XML declaration in the OPML file:
<?xml-stylesheet href="opml2html.xsl"?>

I'm actually the maintainer of the first one, and the W3C service works OK for me. What problem are you having with it?
