Setting row color to be based on content in cells in rows in XML

What would be the best software, and also what would be the best
programming language based solution, to solve the following problem:

I have an XML data set I reference with the usual HTML table. What I
want to do, is to give rows in the data that contain, say the word X in
column 2 a red background color, while I give rows in the data that
contain, the word Y in column 2 a green background color.

More ambitiously, I would like to set rows that contain X in column 2
to have the font style, text color, text size, etc and also the
background color determined by one CSS id, while I set the rows that
contain Y in column 2 to have font style text color text size etc and
background color determined by another CSS id.

Something you already know reasonably well, or something that's worth
learning as a long term goal.

XSLT could certainly solve this problem for you (Try Michael Kay's
book if you need a tutorial).
