XML file - generate RSS file using XSLT

Already have XML file but want to pull out an RSS feed

[cazzzk]

I'm completely new to XSL.

I have an XML file which contains news items. This file was created before its ultimate use was realised (i.e. using it as an RSS feed as well as a page on our website) so the tags within the file are not RSS compatible.

All I need is for someone to point me in the right direction so I know where to start reading!

Do I use XSLT to pull out the required information from the wrongly-named tags in the XML file and to spit it out again as a usable RSS file? Can I get XSLT to take, for example, a <mainhead> tag and put its content into a <title> tag?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Absolutely. That's exactly what XSLT is good for. The exact code you'd use would depend on the relationship between the source and the desired destination.

take, for example, a <mainhead> tag and put its content into a <title> tag?

you'll end up doing something like this in your stylesheet:

<title>
<xsl:value-of select="mainhead">
</title>
