Subject: [xsl] Xpath related to following-sibling and preceding-sibling From: "Teresa Rippeon" <teresa.rippeon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2003 14:42:07 -0400 |
I have the following example XML data with the desired output: <Block id="block1"> <BlockContent> <Para>This is para 1 in group 1</Para> <Para>This is para 2 in group 1</Para> <list><li>List item 1</li><li>List item 2</li></list> <Para>This is para 1 in group 2</Para> <Para>This is para 2 in group 2</Para> <Para>This is para 3 in group 2</Para> <Para>This is para 4 in group 2</Para> </BlockContent> </Block> With the following desired output: <description id="Block1_P1"> <p>This is para 1 in group 1</p> <p>This is para 2 in group 1</p> </description> <list> .... </list> <description id="Block1_P4"> <p>This is para 1 in group 2</p> <p>This is para 2 in group 2</p> <p>This is para 3 in group 2</p> <p>This is para 4 in group 2</p> </description> I have the following portion of the XSLT, which generates... <description id="Block1_P1"> <p>This is para 1 in group 1</p> <p>This is para 2 in group 1</p> <p>This is para 1 in group 2</p> <p>This is para 2 in group 2</p> <p>This is para 3 in group 2</p> <p>This is para 4 in group 2</p></description> <list> .... </list> I know that I should have a check for a following-sibling that is not a Para, but as yet I have not been able to come up with the correct Xpath expression to complete this. Any suggestions? Thanks! <xsl:for-each select="//BlockContent/Para|//BlockContent/List|//BlockContent/Table"> <!-- PARAs --> <xsl:if test="self::Para"> <xsl:choose> <!-- When the preceding sibling was a para, then the description element has already been established and the para was appended into the description element in a previous for loop; don't want to write it out again --> <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::Para"> </xsl:when> <!-- Otherwise, establish the description element and put all consecutive paras within it as a chunk --> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:call-template name="FormatXMLOutput"/> <xsl:element name="description"> <xsl:attribute name="identifier"> <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::Block[1]/@ID"/> <xsl:text>_P</xsl:text> <xsl:number count="Para" from="BlockContent" level="single"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:call-template name="FormatXMLOutput"/> <xsl:element name="p"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> <!-- Now loop through all of the siblings of the Para so that all consecutive paras are "chunked" together in the description element. Note that the siblings are defined as on the same level so if there was a list between this para and the previous sibling para, then you don't want this in the same description element "chunk" --> <xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::Para"> <xsl:element name="p"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:element> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:if> Etc. specifically dealing with lists, tables, etc. Thanks!
