Does anyone have an XSLT that will take the app.config and render it into a non-techie palatable format?
The purpose being mainly informational, but with the nice side-effect of validating the XML (if it's been made invalid, it won't render)
A:
What type of conversion are you looking for? Just for informational purposes? What level of detail are you looking to transform?

First draft at a solution to show
- Connection Strings
- App Settings
Whack this in the app.config:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="display-config.xslt"?>
And this is the contents of display-config.xslt:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Settings</h2>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="connectionStrings">
<h3>Connection Strings</h3>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#abcdef">
<th align="left">Name</th>
<th align="left">Connection String</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="add">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="@connectionString"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="appSettings">
<h3>Settings</h3>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#abcdef">
<th align="left">Key</th>
<th align="left">Value</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="add">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="@key"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="@value"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
