xml and xsl, it is possible
to generate the data from a table or even whole html pages
each XML document has a rootnode
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- xml direkt with css
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="style1.css"?>

it follows the match in the first one xsl / is the root node is addressed to
this should then also be describedbasic html code
<xsl:template match="/">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<style>
table {
border: 2px solid black;
}
th,td{
border: 2px solid black;
}
tr{
text-align: center;
}
tr.head{
text-align: left;
background-color:#ff0000;
}
tr.odd{
background-color:#ff9900;
}
tr.even{
background-color:#ff0099;
}</style>
<body>
<h2>Module list</h2>
<table>
<tr class="head">
<th>Module Name</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Module Code</th>
<th>Module Leader</th>
<th>Timetable Slot</th>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="root/moduleList"/>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
now it is possible to apply template to jump-in nodes further
to further define and transform Teplate as html code to let
there are no nodes where generated html
Braving the node should be executed
<xsl:template match="moduleList">
<xsl:apply-templates select="module"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="module">
<tr>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 1">
<xsl:attribute name="class">odd</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 0">
<xsl:attribute name="class">even</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="moduleName"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="moduledescription"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="moduleCode"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="moduleLeader"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="timetableSlot"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
as it is to be used in html code can be assembled with a xsl
see above
there is no general prescription for xml in [x]html convert
I discuss with each template should happen if the node is found which is generated for a conversion
