ATTRIBUTIONTo use Family Features' XML Feed, we require the following attribution:A service of Family Features XML Feeds Dynamic Web pages return XML documents for weekly features and recipes. Weekly features and recipes contain unbounded sequences of features and recipes. See schemas below for more information on features and recipes data. In the weekly features feed each feature contains an id attribute that can be used to get reference to the feature detail, which is called from the feature feed. The following example feeds contain a default XSLT style sheet that will transform the feed if viewed under Internet Explorer 6. If you look at the source of the page you will see the XML data of the feed.
These schemas are componentized. The recipe component builds upon the format and image components. The feature component builds upon recipe and sponsor components. Finally the weekly features are an unbounded sequence of features.
These are basic examples of using XSLT to transform the feeds. The weekly feature gives an example of getting reference to feature data. Look for <xsl:variable name="id" select="@id"/> <a href="feature.ashx?featureId={$id}">. When saving these xml feeds off locally for caching purposes you could change these to static references. The Feature and Article transforms listed below call a HTML formatting template. If you don't want the transmitted HTML format you can override it by changing or replacing this template.
