Subject: Outputting to separate files. From: Alan Kennedy <alank@xxxxxx> Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 10:49:01 +1100 |
XSL, Love it! Absolutely marvellous! One small thing that I would love to have is the ability to redirect output to a set of output files, directed by the StyleSheet. For example, say I have a dictionary, like so <DICT> <ENTRY> <WORD>Someword</WORD> <DEF>Definition of someword</DEF> </ENTRY> <ENTRY> ..... </ENTRY> </DICT> I'd like to be able to <xsl:template match="DICT"> <xsl:for-each select="ENTRY"> <xsl:output-to filename="{.}.htm"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="../DEF"/> </xsl:output-to> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> Could I do this with the existing XSL? Or would I have to roll my own using the DOM? Or am I failing to grasp the concept of declarative transformation (vs procedural)? At the moment, I'm just maintaining my "dictionary" in a wodge of little files and processing them all individually from the command line, which means there is a lot of file opening and closing overheads. Thanks for all the great work, XSL folks. You've radically changed the way I work. Regards, Alan. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
