XML on the network can often see the background color by row alternately set table, more beautiful. But not necessarily what advanced Server technology, with simple xsl+xml still can be very good to achieve them. 
For example, we have an XML document that records the URL:
 
<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "Utf-8"?>
 
<?xml-stylesheet type= "text/xsl" href= "xsltfilellink.xsl"?>
 
<items>
 
<roomitem>
 
<text> Sina </text>
 
<link>http://www.sina.com.cn</link>
 
</roomitem>
 
<roomitem>
 
<text>yahoo</text>
 
<link>http://www.yahoo.com</link>
 
</roomitem>
 
<roomitem>
 
<text>google</text>
 
<link>http://www.google.com</link>
 
</roomitem>

Now, I would like to classify him as a table with two colors alternating in rows. As shown in the following illustration:
 
 
XSL can write this,
 
<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "Utf-8"?>
 
<xsl:stylesheet version= "1.0"
 
Xmlns:xsl= "Http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
 
<xsl:template match= "/" >
 
 
<body>
 
<!--
 
This is a XSLT template file. Fill in the, with the
 
XSL elements which would transform your XML to XHTML.
