<course code="CO3070">XML and the Web</course>
<course code="CO3300"/>Web Server Architectures
should actually be this
<course code="CO3070">XML and the Web</course>
<course code="CO3300">Web Server Architectures</course>
also you're looping through "teaching" when perhaps you mean to loop through courses
instead of:
<xsl:for-each select="teaching">
<td><xsl:value-of select="course"/>(<xsl:value-of select="course/@code"/>)</td>
</xsl:for-each>
try:
<xsl:for-each select="teaching/course">
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/>(<xsl:value-of select="@code"/>)</td>
</xsl:for-each>
Or perhaps you intend to have more than one "teaching" node with many "course" nodes below each, in which case a nested loop or "apply-template" would do the trick.
I didn't test that last chunk of XSLT. Since you're using Altova XML Spy you should be able to nudge and debug your XSL with relative ease... good luck
(within the root template)...
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="teaching" />
</td>
(outside the main template, within the stylesheet)
...
<xsl:template match="teaching">
<xsl:for-each select="course">
<xsl:value-of select=".">(<xsl:value-of select="course/@code"/>)<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
once again I've typed this XSL blindly sans testing, so it may be buggy. But you can paste this into Altova and massage it until it purrs
