Name

RSS_TO_XHTMLB

Description

An XSL-based (Extensible Stylesheet Language) transformer, which converts RSS-based XML feeds to the intermediate XHTMLB format.

The resulting XHTMLB format cannot be handled by the portal runtime. Therefore, this XML transformer should be positioned before the XHTMLB ® HTMLB transformer (XHTMLBSAXHandler) in a pipeline transformation.

Input format

RSS (versions 0.91, 0.92, 1.0, and 2.0)

Output format

XHTMLB
