Subject: Getting the contents of an element From: Georg Rehm <georg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Apr 1998 10:54:03 +0200 (MEST) |
Hi there, Several regular posters from comp.text.sgml suggested that I should ask this question on DSSSList. As I subscribed to this list only a couple of minutes ago the usual disclaimer applies. ;-) I have a couple (about 900) SGML documents that I want to automatically convert into HTML documents. The basic structure of the documents is as follows: <!DOCTYPE text system "text.dtd"> <TEXT> <META> <COPYRIGHT>Copyright [...]</COPYRIGHT> <TEXTID>T921116.10</TEXTID> <ZEITUNG>TAZ</ZEITUNG> [...] </META> <PARAGRAPH ID=P1 FKT=H1> <SATZ ID=P1S1 NUM=1>Deutschland, deine Täter!</SATZ></PARAGRAPH> [...] </TEXT> After marking up the documents (this happens automatically), I feed the SGML into jade using the "-t sgml" switch and James Clark's proprietary extensions to transform SGML documents. What I'm currently trying to do is to insert the contents of the <TEXTID> tag (a short string like the above, e.g. "T921116.10") into the <TITLE> tag of the resulting HTML document. Furthermore, <TEXTID> has to be pro- cessed in another place in my DSSSL script (the latter works just fine). Oisin McGuinness suggested the following function (get-contents gi) in an email which he sent to me after my initial posting to comp.text.sgml: ; my top-level gi (define *top-gi* "TEXT") ; let's do anything with the textid element (element textid (make element gi: "U") ) (define (get-contents gi) (process-node-list (node-list-first (select-elements (descendants (ancestor *top-gi*)) gi)))) ; Top-Level Element (element text (make sequence (make document-type [...] (make element gi: "HTML" (make element gi: "HEAD" (make element gi: "TITLE" (get-contents "TEXTID"))) (make element gi: "BODY" [...] This is a kind of lengthy excerpt from my DSSSL "style sheet". I call (get-contents gi) in the appropriate place, I think. Furthermore, the function definition looks really good to me. But, and that is the problem: _Nothing_ happens inside the <TITLE> tag. Any help to the solution of this bug is really appreciated, Greetings, Georg -- Georg Rehm georg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Institute for Semantic Information-Processing, University of Osnabrueck, FRG DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
