Hi,
I would like to pass some words into my XSL file which should be used
to build an XPath query in xsl:apply-templates. For an example, the following
works, but only for one word:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
<xsl:param name="query"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="chapter[contains(descendant-or-self::*,$query)]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="chapter | section">
<table>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>Found <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="section[contains(descendant-or-self::*, $query)]"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I don't know how many words will be passed into the XSL file, this should
be flexible.
For example, If $query has the value "word1 word2", the only chapters and
sections that
should be selected by apply-templates are those which contain word1 or
word2, I think
in this case need I something like:
<xsl:apply-templates
select="chapter[contains(descendant-or-self::*,'word1') or
contains(descendant-or-self::*,'word2')]"/>
I tried to pass the whole string used by "select" as parameter, but it does
not work.
Another thing is that I also have words that should be excluded and that I
would like
to pass a value into the XSL file that should define if it is an AND or an
OR query to
build something like:
<xsl:apply-templates
select="chapter[contains(descendant-or-self::*,'word1') and
contains(descendant-or-self::*,'word2')
and
not(contains(descendant-or-self::*,'word3'))]"/>
Has anyone an idea how to do something like this? Or is it a better
solution to do this
with Java DOM?
Thanks for help and greetings,
Marko
