Transform XML into Markdown format text

I'm trying to transform an XML into a Markdown

public static Document transformXmlToMarkdown(String xml) throws TransformerException {
    Source source = new StreamSource(new StringReader(xml));
    TransformerFactory tFactory=TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    DOMResult result = new DOMResult();
    Transformer transform = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new StringReader(markdown)));
    transform.transform(source, result);
    return (Document) result.getNode();
}

The markdown in the new StringReader(markdown) is based here. The problem with this code is that I does not transform.

The input:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<en-note>
    <div>
        <br/>
    </div>
    <div>
        <br/>
    </div>
    <en-media hash="" type="application/octet-stream"/>
    <div>
        <br/>
    </div>
    <div>This is my first Evernote blog with image/photo attached.</div>
    <div>
        <br/>
    </div>
    <div>This is another line. </div>
    <div>
        <br/>
    </div>
    <div>Some 
        <i>formatting </i>also for 
        <b>some </b>lines. 
    </div>
</en-note>

Output should be:

This is my first Evernote blog with image/photo attached.



This is another line.



Some _formatting_ also for **some** lines.

Any hints would be appreciated.

The xslt script you referring to can be used to convert some kind of HTML to Markdown.

Your XML is not HTML. Your XML starts with a root element "en-note" and there is no match on that in the XSLT, so no processing of that element.
