SNIA Vendor File Translation

SNIA Vendor File Translation
Tom Milner / August 1, 2005

The XSL file "vendor.xsl" translates a SNIA SMI-S "Vendor" file into a viewable (HTML) file. Vendor files are used in SNIA Conformance Testing. This translation is automatically done by the browser when the vendor.xml file is read in.

For a sample, click on this sample vendor file.

Adding XSL Translation to the Vendor File

In order to get the translation to work, vendor files need only have the following line inserted after the first line (and the vendor.xsl must be accessible). See the example below:

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='vendor.xsl'?>  # This line added
    <!--!DOCTYPE VENDOR SYSTEM "SNIA_SMI_Vendor.dtd"-->
        .
        .
        .
