O.P. Convert Windows Live Messenger XML ChatLogs to Messenger Plus! Live HTML ChatLogs
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.

O.P. RE: Convert Windows Live Messenger XML ChatLogs to Messenger Plus! Live HTML ChatLogs
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.



MessageLog.xsl:

RE: Convert Windows Live Messenger XML ChatLogs to Messenger Plus! Live HTML ChatLogs
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?

Did you see my post above? Just drop in the new XSL file in the same directory.
