What you'll need is some type of scripting language to parse through the XML feed. If I was making the page described, it would be made with PHP (but it's just my preference). So this is how I'd go about it: You'd make a PHP file that handles the URL parsing and displays the data out. There is a PHP library (built in) called SimpleXML http://php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php You can use that to parse through all the data on the XML page, then create a custom 'viewing' file or build it into the same php page to display it how you want. Then from there it can be styled with CSS or whatever needed. It's also possible to do XML parsing with Javascript, but I'm not familiar with it. I hope this helps you get an idea of how it's done.
I need to convert a receiving xml into html and save it as html. This has to be done as the application where it later shall be used does not support xml format....So with the xsl I need to run through a directory, and convert all xml into html. Is there a freeware out there that handles this?
