template creation aid

i would like to generate some html using xsl/xml transformation. using a xml source like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<page>

    <stuff>...</stuff>

    <tbl type="big">...</tbl>

    <somestuff>...</somestuff>

    <tbl type="wide">...</tbl>

    <area>

        <tbl type="huge">...</tbl>

    </area>

    <morestuff>...</morestuff>

</page>

then use a template that will handle the non-'tbl' tags internally/manually and then have a reusable template that will transform the 'tbl' tags.

it seems that the XML needs to be walked through (by xpath?) or processed twice (XML->XML). though i am sure there is some syntax to make a template crawl the heirarchy that i am unaware of. i am using the 'g ken holman definateive xslt and xpath' as my source and its a little heady.

its to not clear to me how this might be done. can anyone help point me to a reference for doing something like this?

thanks

i found that this works to a degree, i am not sure how to make it co exist with he classic ...

<xsl:template match="/">

... to render the rest of my document

PHP Code:


		
			
<xsl:stylesheet>

   <xsl:template match="*/box">

        <table>

            <xsl:for-each select="//rows">

                <tr>

                    <xsl:for-each select="cell">

                        <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>

                    </xsl:for-each>

                </tr>

            </xsl:for-each>

        </table>

        <hr/>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>



<root>

    <titlebar>

        <item></item>

        <box type="1">

            <rows>

                <cell>1</cell><cell>2</cell>

            </rows>

            <rows>

                <cell>3</cell><cell>4</cell>

            </rows>

        </box>

        <item></item>

    </titlebar>

    <box type="2">

        <rows>

            <cell>5</cell><cell>6</cell>

        </rows>

        <rows>

            <cell>7</cell><cell>8</cell>

        </rows>

    </box>

</root>
