<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" >
  
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
    <head><title/></head>
    <body>
      <table border="0pt" style="solid">
        <tbody>
          <!--call table headers-->
          <!--table headers-->
          <tr bgcolor="grey">
            <!--header-->
            <xsl:for-each select="manuals/manual[1]/*">
              <th><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></th>
            </xsl:for-each>
            <th>new-id</th>
          </tr>
          <!--call table rows-->
          <xsl:apply-templates select="manuals/manual">
            <xsl:sort order="ascending" select="title"/>
          </xsl:apply-templates>
        </tbody>
      </table>
    </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="manuals/manual">
    <!--table rows-->
    <!--kleur bepalen-->
    <xsl:variable name="kleur">

        <xsl:when test="category='PowerShell Scripting'">lightblue</xsl:when>
