Hello.
I have an input XML that looks something like:
<data>
<item>
<title>This is the title</title>
<total>18</total>
<date>2002-05-02</date>
</item>
<item>
<title>This is the second title</title>
<total>12</total>
<date>2002-05-01</date>
</item>
<item>
<title>This is the third title</title>
<total>15</total>
<date>2002-05-01</date>
</item>
</data>
I would like to output this as:
2002-05-02 ... This is the title ................ 18
2002-05-01 ... This is the second title ......... 12
2002-05-01 ... This is the third title .......... 5
I've been unable to find a simple way in XSL to do the padding that
I want. I can live without the space at the beginning and end of
the ....
is there any way that I can do this?
Thanks,
Eric.
