I have a huge xml file and i want to convert it to a readable format.

This is how my xml file looks like:

<entries>
<entry title="earth" id="9424127" date="2006-04-19T08:22:16.140">
<![CDATA[earth is the place where we live.]]>
</entry>
</entries>

So i have more than 5000 entries like this and i want to put them online so i can read them easily. How can i convert it?

This is the output that i want to have:

Earth

earth is the place where we live. (2006-04-19T08:22:16.140)

    You could use an XSLT stylesheet to create a simple html table.

    For example, this stylesheet:

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="/entries">
    <html>
      <body>
        <table border="1">
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </table>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="entry">
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="@title"/></td>
      <td>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </td>
      <td>(<xsl:value-of select="@date"/>)</td>
    </tr>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

    would create:

    <html>
  <body>
    <table border="1">
      <tr>
        <td>earth</td>
        <td> earth is the place where we live. </td>
        <td>(2006-04-19T08:22:16.140)</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>
