Convert an HTML page to an
XSLT page
You’ll begin by converting the existing specials page for Cafe Townsend—
an HTML page—into an XSLT page that can display XML data.
1. In the Files panel (Window > Files), locate the xml_menu.html, and
double-click the file to open it. The xml_menu.html file is located in the
xml folder, inside the cafe_townsend root folder. For more information,
see “Locate your files” on page 174.
2. Select File > Convert > XSLT 1.0.
Dreamweaver opens a copy of the xml_menu page in the Document
window. The new page is an XSL style sheet, saved with the .xsl
extension.
3. Click on the xml_menu.html page and close it so that only the new
xml_menu.xsl page is displayed in the Document window.
