XSL to generate a sorted & flat ToDoList
ToDoList (by abstractspoon) is a very nice tool to keep track of all your tasks.
With this XSL you can generate a flat view (not a tree view). It supports a couple of XSL parameters to control sorting and filtering. So, you can sort by priority or by due date.
The XSL is based to a large extend on ToDoListTableStylesheet_v1.0 by xabatcha
The "multi_view_todolist.xsl" that is also included generates an overview of the active task list by selecting
The .bat files included can be used to run the transfrom as a user-defined tool from ToDoList.

- flagged tasks (e.g. currently active)
- high-priority tasks
- urgent tasks (soon due)
- started tasks
- upcoming tasks (soon to start)

Hello,
I am trying to use your XSL. I got the principal html file with tasks but when I try to click to the hyperlink on task to view the detail I have an error message.
could you explain how to use your XSL ?
Best Regards

Hi,
I use the XSL as custom tool in TDL:
* Create a new custom tool
** set Path to the path of flat_sorted_todolist.bat
** set Arguments e.g. to
"$(pathName)" "$(folder)$(fileTitle).html" 8 "$(todaysDate)" duedate
** Set the icon to whatever you like (I use firefox :-))
This calls the BAT as custom tool from TDL, which opens the generated HTML in your default browser.
You need msxsl installed in order to make this work (see wiki).
The BAT takes the following arguments:
%1 - the input XML (=TDL), I use TDL's "$(pathName)"
%2 - the output path, I use "$(folder)$(fileTitle).html"
%3 - the minimum priority tasks must have to be included (I use 8)
%4 - the today string "$(todaysDate)"
%5 - currently not used
For the "multi_view" list, I use
Path: multi_view_todolist.bat
Arguments: "$(pathName)" "$(folder)$(fileTitle)-overview.html" 8 "$(todaysDate)" duedate
(which is more or less the same as above, I only use a different output filename.)
This works fine for me. Currently TDL 5.6.6 has some bugs that prevent some other usages (see also the discussion in the forum)
Hope this helps,
Peter

Additional remark:
due to the current XML bugs in TDL (still there in 5.7.2) I have a work-around in the flat_sorted_todolist.xsl that filters to tasks due the next 14 days by default - but this only works with the invocation described above.
In other cases just change the default for "duedate" and "startuntil" to "0" i.e. list all tasks -- or pass some value to the XSL:
<xsl:param name="dueuntil" select="0" />
<xsl:param name="startuntil" select="0" />
Did you get it working? If not, please post your error message or analyze the tdl:// link in your file. It's quite likey that the filename is missing in your case.

Hi,
I'm using your template. Very nice and exactly what I'm looking for. But there is one point missing:
I'm not able to transform the tasks including the already finished tasks, is this right?
How can I change the XSL, for example, I don't want to see the filename as a headline...is this possible?
Thanks a lot for your help
Best regards
Steve
