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.
