The error in your XSLT file is on the line

<xsl:apply-templates select="Author:"/>

The : makes your XPath expression invalid. So use

<xsl:apply-templates select="Author"/>

instead.

Also, if you want a valid HTML file you have to make two changes to your XSLT file:

  1. Add an

    <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />

    as a top-level-element to your xsl:stylesheet. And...

  2. Add a general HTML template matching the root element /:

    <xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
    <body>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*" />
    </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>
