Subject: Re: [xsl] data translation => descendants appear side by side in HTML-table From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 06 May 2002 12:40:14 -0400 |
(./descendant-or-self::node()/child::description)[position()=$pos] translates into English as
./descendant-or-self::node()/child::description[position()=$pos] translates as
Cheers, Wendell
I searched for a different and more general approach (not limited to 2 base elements). The stylesheet is quite short:
<xsl:template match="root">
<html>
<head><title>Descriptions</title></head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<xsl:apply-templates select="base[not(count(following-sibling::base//description) > count(.//description))]//description"/>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="description"> <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/> <tr> <xsl:for-each select="/root/base"> <td> <xsl:value-of select="(.//description)[$pos]"/> </td> </xsl:for-each> </tr> </xsl:template>
But I found a bug in Xalan: When using <xsl:value-of select=".//description[$pos]"/>, I already get the wanted result.
But when I read in the spec
"For example
appendix//ulist/item[position()=1]
matches a node if and only if all of the following are true:
* ...
* evaluating the PredicateExpr position()=1 with the node as context node and the *siblings* of the node that are item elements as the context node list yields true
* ..."
I suspect this behaviour is wrong, isn't it?

should be transformed into: <table> <tr> <td>some_desc1</td> <td>some_desc1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>some_desc2</td> <td>some_add_desc2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>some_add_desc3</td> <td>some_desc3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>some_add_desc4</td> <td>some_desc4</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>some_add_desc5</td> </tr> </table>
