Using XSLT to view traces in HTML

XSL Transformations allow to convert an XML file in any other text format, like HTML.

Formating traces in HTML allows to set colors for the different trace levels, and adapt the format to the displayed objects (tables, lists, booleans, ... )

You can use Xalan to convert XML trace outputs to an HTML file, but if you use Mozilla, you can open the XML files directly, without any transformation !

To make XSL transformations, LobTraceStream provides two files:

• lobtracestream.dtd
  describes how the XML output file is constructed.

• lobtracestream.xsl
  describes how to interprete XML tags and format them in HTML.

Note:
To see the output in Mozilla, you have to put theese two files in the same directory than your trace output files.

example:
http://lobtracestream.sourceforge.net/xslsample.html
