Subject: Re: [xsl] XSL Help!! From: Gunther Schadow <gunther@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 05 Dec 2002 18:58:56 -0500 |
Hi there, I have a couple of questions on XSL stylesheets. 1)<xsl:template match="MEMBER"> <xsl:apply-templates select="NAME"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="Phone[@type='work']"/> </xsl:template>
When u say <xsl:apply-templates select="NAME"/>, Will all the NAME nodes under MEMBER be selected(say there are more than 1 NAME nodes under MEMBER)?
Also will the NAME template rule be applied to each one of the NAME nodes before the Phone node is selected?
yes, and in that order you gave here, first all names then all phones. With
it they would appear instead in document order, which could be Name-Phone-Name-Phone etc.
2) <xsl:variable name='signers' select=/legal_authenticator/person'/> <xsl:if test='$signers'> ..... ..... </xsl:if>
What is the xsl:if tag doing here? Is it testing whether /legal_authenticator/person' exists??
yes, actually there are some pretty wild (but useful) rules by which values are cast into the boolean type to make the test. But and a non-existing node is false.
3)<person_name> <nm> <GIV V="Henry"/> <FAM V="Levin"/> </nm> <person_name.type_cd V="L" S="2d"/> </person_name>
For the above xml, I see the following in the stylesheet <xsl:apply-templates select='person_name[person_name.type_cd/@V="L"]'/> What do the [] mean?? Why can't I just have / instead of the []??
Hehe, I know this stuff you're doing. This is HL7 CDA schema or something close of quite an outdated interim release, isn't it? Funny how small the world is :-)
Well, this is a pretty basic XSLT question and you should want to study XSLT in more detail (it's the coolest language there is.) But since you seem to have to read XSLT from someone else and since you are an HL7 fellow, here's the answer:
person_name[...] makes a condition on the person_name node, i.e., the result is the person_name(s) if it exists AND if the condition term in the brackets is true.
This schema has changed a lot since then, you may want to update to the more current specifications :-)
