Convert Windows Live Messenger XML ChatLogs to Messenger Plus! Live HTML ChatLogs
Is there any way to convert XML chat logs to HTML chat logs just like Messenger Plus! Live?
I searched the threads on this forums but all led to dead links and posts from 2004 - 2006.
It's 2008 and there should be at least an XML to HTML converter out now.

I copied and pasted sections of the HTML logs generated by Messenger Plus! Live into the XSL file generated by Windows Live Messenger. I was able to come up with a somewhat successful conversion, but there is a problem I don't understand yet.
Under the xml:for-each, I have to generate separate <table cellspacing="0"> and <tbody> tags. This causes the chat log text to be misaligned differently among each chat line.
This is my first time dealing with XSL / XML code. Can someone look into this issue to get it solved? Thanks.
I've attached the ZIP file containing the XSL file and a PNG screenshot.
If you cannot open ZIP files, copy and paste the following code below into an empty TXT file and rename it to MessageLog.xsl.

I know this was in 2008 but seeing as how it's been a year since then, and I am interested in the same thing this poster is, converting XML chat logs into HTML, I figure I would post here. Does anyone know anything about this?
