Re: [xsl] Basic again: if condition and processing

Hello Hubert,

you can add a global parameter and use this one in th whole file. So you have all templates only once. In this way the url parameter can get into the stylesheet too.

<xsl:param name="lang" select="'ger'"/>

<xsl:template match="sect1">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="sect2[@lang = $lang]"/>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg

Thank you for your help Joerg or just: Dank'schön

But I have another question about XSL processing.
I have two sect1 elements in my article with different language attributes,
depending on an url parameter I want to process the english or german section.
I thought of something like that:
<xsl:template match="sect1">
	
	
       <xsl:if sect1="@lang='eng'">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="sect1[@lang='eng']"/>
       </xsl:if>
	
       <xsl:if sect1="@lang='ger'">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="sect1[@lang='ger']"/>
       </xsl:if>
but then I have to copy nearly the whole xsl content into the second template too,
and I know that's not the way to do it, because both sect1 elements(eng,ger) are structured in
the same way, only different content, of course.
So my XML looks like thtat:
<sect1 lang="eng">
		  <title></title>
		
		  <para> english bla
			...
<sect1 lang="ger">
		  <title></title>
		
		  <para> deutsch bla
			...
So depending on my url parameter (e.g. ?lang=ger) I want to process all with lang="ger" attribute in my XML file and the same way with lang="eng".
Thanks in advance.

You probably mean "paragraphs" instead of "parameter".

to put some links, but the final html file puts the link under the text

not at the position in the text.
The paragraph is text mixed with elements. You use pull style
processing (xsl:for-each). Push style processing is much better
suited for processing mixed content.
Declare templates for processing <para> and <ulink>
elements and use xsl:apply-templates to apply them:
<xsl:template match="sect1[@lang='ger']">
<table ...
  <tr>
    <td>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="para"/>
    </td>
...
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<br/><br/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ulink">
<a href="{@url}">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="count(child::node())=0">
      <xsl:value-of select="@url"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</a>
</xsl:template>
The default templates will take care of copying text through.
