How to add date into XML and format columns?

[toplisek]

I have XML like:
<item>
<title>Mytitle</title>
<link>http://www.mydomain.com</link>
<description>Text description1</description>
</item>

I would like to add date to this that it will be date like:
07.12.2009 title with URL
Description

How can be this achieved?

Are you trying to achieve this in an XSL transformation?
Is this data going to be sent by a web server?
Do you need the data dynamically added, or do you want the original XML changed?

1. Are you trying to achieve this in an XSL transformation?
2. Is this data going to be sent by a web server?
3. Do you need the data dynamically added, or do you want the original XML changed?

1. What would be achieved with XSL transformation? New to this...
2. and 3. simple change static of XML file to be shown also date but in format design as posted (space between date and other values)

Still not entirely sure what you want, but ...

For a static change, just do, for each entry, something like:


<item>
<date>07.12.2009</date>
<title>Mytitle</title>
<link>http://www.mydomain.com</link>
<description>Text description1</description>
</item>


To format this in any way, though, you're going to at least need to use a CSS or even some XSL, though you might not get any spacing with just CSS, unless you use some of the really obscure rules.
