XS2H XML Sitemap to HTML

Generate a searchable HTML list or table from one or more XML sitemaps via shortcode, with human-readable titles extracted from each URL’s final path segment.

Features

• Display multiple sitemaps together in list or table layouts
• Live search input filters entries by title or URL
• Automatic title extraction: takes only the last path segment (after the final “/”), replaces separator characters (dash or underscore) with spaces, then applies casing (Title Case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, ucfirst, or none)
• Options to show or hide the original URL and last-modified date
• Server-side shortcode generator in settings for easy copy-and-paste (all parameters always visible)
• Configurable cache TTL (in seconds) to reduce external requests

How Titles are Generated

1. Take the URL path after the final slash (/).
2. URL-decode that segment.
3. Replace the configured “Slug Separator” (default -) and underscores (_) with spaces.
4. Collapse multiple spaces to one.
5. Apply the selected case rule.

For example: https://example.com/category/sub-item-name
→ “sub-item-name” → “sub item name” → “Sub Item Name” (Title Case)

Limitations

• Only the last URL segment is used—intermediate directories or multiple segments cannot be included.
• No per-entry custom titles beyond the global slug-separator and casing settings.
• Cannot select a specific path depth (e.g. “take the second-to-last segment”).
• No support for injecting custom templates or HTML around each item beyond the built-in list/table output.
