Subject: [xsl] Plural attribute values versus a separate element. From: "Edward L. Knoll" <ed.knoll@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 09:35:04 -0600 |
I'm trying to decide on an XML data representation approach to the following problem. I have a element which may be plural. Every instance of that element share a common "type" attribute, but the "type" values can be plural. Well formed XML requires attributes to be unique for a specific element instance. My XML/XSL experience is limited, but it seems to me that it is not easy/natural to deal with attribute values which are plural. Therefore, I suspect that I should turn this attribute into a peer element. Does anyone have insight into this problem? Approach A: ---------- <element type="A,B">....</element> <element type="A,B">....</element> Approach B: ----------- <element_type>A</element_type> <element_type>B</element_type> <element>....</element> <element>....</element> Regards, Ed Knoll -- Edward L.
