Xslt extracting attributes and generating html - xslt

Question

I'm trying to transform the following XML..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><Member TextRank="unknown" FullName="My Name" ..etc.. />
Into something like the following,
<div class="member">
<span class="label">
Text Rank (note: i want to override the labels in the xslt)
</div>
<span class="value">
unknown
</span>
<span class="label">
Full Name
</div>
<span class="value">
My Name
</span>
..etc..
</div>
How if possible could I do this using xslt?

Here's a different approach, that does away for the need for the xsl:choose element. Instead, you could take advantage of the matching templates to have specific templates for the cases of attributes who names you want to override, and a generic template for other case.
To avoid repetition of code, you could also make the generic template a named template, with a parameter to override the name
<xsl:template match="#*" name="attribute">
<xsl:param name="label" select="local-name()" />
So, the default for most attributes would be to use the attribute name, but the specific template for #FullName could then call this with a different name.
<xsl:template match="#FullName">
<xsl:call-template name="attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="label" select="'Full Name'" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
Here is the full XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<div class="{local-name()}">
<div> Title: </div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#FullName">
<xsl:call-template name="attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="label" select="'Full Name'" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#*" name="attribute">
<xsl:param name="label" select="local-name()" />
<span class="label">
<xsl:value-of select="concat($label, ' : ')"/>
</span>
<span class="value">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</span>
<br/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When applied to the following XML:
<Member TextRank="unknown" ID="12" FullName="My Name" Dob="01/01/1970" />
The following is output:
<div class="Member">
<div> Title: </div>
<span class="label">TextRank : </span>
<span class="value">unknown</span>
<br>
<span class="label">ID : </span>
<span class="value">12</span>
<br>
<span class="label">Full Name : </span>
<span class="value">My Name</span>
<br>
<span class="label">Dob : </span>
<span class="value">01/01/1970</span>
<br>
</div>

This is the solution I came up with.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="div">
<xsl:attribute name="class">className</xsl:attribute>
<div>
Title:
</div>
<!-- UID, Name, DBO-->
<xsl:apply-templates select="#ID"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#FullName"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#Dob"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#*">
<xsl:element name="span">
<xsl:attribute name="class">label</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="name() = 'FullName'">
Full Name
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
:
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="span">
<xsl:attribute name="class">value</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
<br/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
