Visualization of the core-rules

Hi,

I just wrote a little parser for reading the core-rules files into an  
XML-format that can be used in a flexible way and came to the idea to  
transform the XML into HTML for having a nice "visualization" of the  
core-rules within your browser.

The result is a parser which does

     core-rules-x.y.z.tar.gz --> XML*

and a small XSLT stylesheet, which can be used for

     XML* -->  HTML

This will end up in the whole core-rules being displayed as a single  
web-page.
My intention to do this was basically to have a view on the core-rules  
which reassembles the rule-processing flow as closely as possible to  
that of the rule-engine of ModSecurity.

Thus, the rules are sorted by phases, and within the phases by the  
location within the "global ruleview", i.e. in the same order they  
should be processed by ModSecurity. Chained rules are also glued  
together and displayed as "nested rules".

Of course, meta-information like the rule-id, rule-location within the  
core-rules is also preserved and displayed. The resulting view is a  
single-page html and easily lets you search using you browsers built- 
in "search"-function.

If you want to have a look at it, you can find this small side-project  
at

If you find any bugs (i.e. things that are wrongly ordered, etc.) or  
have more ideas on how to visualize things a little better, then just  
let me know. Of course, any feedback about helpfulness and the like is  
also welcome 

Regards,
    Christian
