I would like to use an xml file to create a html email. I can create an xsl file to convert it to html but I don’t know how I can then save or copy the generated html. Obviously if I view the source of the xml file I just get the xml source, not the transformed html. What is the simplest or quickest way possible without me having to use Java or C# or anything like that? Is there a web service that can do it? I’ve googled but with no luck.

EDIT

If I have to do a bit of coding to do this then I could probably manage it in php, javascript, java, vbscript or possibly python. I’d be surprised if a tool to easily do what I want hasn’t already been created and made available publicly though.

EDIT 2 – Solution found

I’ve discovered that clicking ‘View generated source’ in the Web Developer toolbar of Firefox shows me the html. This is all I need, I can then copy and paste this. I’d still be interested to hear if anyone has any better suggestions though…

    What you probably need is an XSLT-Processor.

    On most Linux machines xsltproc should be available at the commandline (or be easily installed with ‘sudo apt-get install xsltproc’).

    On Windows msxsl should be the right commandline tool (I didn’t test it).
