Subject: [xsl] Creating index using xsl From: "Kaarle Kaila" <kaarle.kaila@xxxxxx> Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2003 22:38:04 +0300 |
hi, I am rather new to this list but I have tried to look for an answer to my problem from the FAQ. At least it seems I cannot use a variable in a for-each loop to compare with the previous value. I am looking into xslt to see how much I can use it to create some genealogical reports and it seems that formatting of the data might be ok and perhaps also creating teh indexes. I have a simple xml-file at http://www.kk-software.fi/kalle/xsl/koe.xml that creates a simple index of the data it contains by using http://www.kk-software.fi/kalle/xsl/tables.xsl and http://www.kk-software.fi/kalle/xsl/tables.css. A transformed html file that contains also the table text exists at http://www.kk-software.fi/kalle/xsl/table.html. The texsts are in Finnish but have no meaning. The index as it is created by the xsl is transformed also at http://www.kk-software.fi/kalle/xsl/resu1.html. At http://www.kk-software.fi/kalle/xsl/resu2.html you can see how I would want teh index to look. Of course with real data there would be more than 1 table but so far I have experimented only with one table. Sorting in finnish/swedish order seems to be no problem but how to combine the current name element with the previous is. I have tried to use variables, I have tried to get hold of previous-sibling but not succeeded. Can anybody out there help me with this. Can I do what I want with xslt?? Here is still a code-sniplet from the xsl-file: <xsl:for-each select="//name"> <xsl:sort order="ascending" lang="fi" select="@sur"/> <xsl:sort order="ascending" lang="fi" select="@given"/> <TR> <TD align="left"> <!-- here I should check if the name is equal to previous name if so then I would not create a new row but continue on previous --> <xsl:apply-templates/> </TD><TD> <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::table/@number" /> </TD> </TR> </xsl:for-each> -- Kaarle Kaila email: kaarle dot kaila at iki dot fi www.iki.fi/kaila XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
