Dear all,

Is it possible to print contents in color based on a attribute? Please share your ideas.

Say for eg., if i have a attribute named as (change) and if its value is said to be "Omitted" then my contents should get printed in red color font. Otherwise black color.

I hereby provide you a Sample file:
<Section ID="67" Change="Omitted">
<Title>67 Method of computing a partner’s share in the income of the firm</Title>
<Para>
[Omitted by the Finance Act, 1992, with effect from 1-4-1993.]
</Para>
</Section>

Try

XML

<html>Some black text and <span style="color:red;">some red text</span>.</html>

This should result in

Some black text and some red text.

Now, it should be easy to write some XSLT code that creates this, e.g. use the following snippet:

XML

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="@Change='Omitted'">
    <span style="color:red;">red text</span>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>black text</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Cheers
Andi
