Xml stylesheets

Hi,

I am parsing a XML with the xml input stage. There are 20 elements in the xml. Currently I am taking only 5 elements from xml and loading in the database. At the end I want that in the current xml those elements which I have processed come in bold or italic. How can we use xml stylesheets to do that.

Thanks

Lost. You want "bold" and "italics" in your database? Sounds more like HTML than flattened XML to me, is that really what you are after on the output side?

I want the processed elements in italics. Its not in the database. IT will be in the xml only. I will parse the xml and copy the 5 elements to database and from one copy read the complete xml and put the processed elemnts in italics in that. So that after looking into the xml i can differentiate between the processed and unprocessed elements.

Still lost. It seems you want to modify the source XML as part of your database load, which is ok I suppose. However, there are no italics in XML - that takes HTML so your requirements need a little adjusting. Unless I'm being especially dense today.

Confused here too..unless you are saying that you want to send "some" data to a database and "some" to XML (maybe similar or "same" xml) but italicized?
